There is an old axiom that is very true: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Value is a very relative term. For example, I recently read an article about a California man who, while at a garage sale looking for interesting antiques, came across two boxes of old glass photo negatives. Finding them interesting, he talked the seller down from his price of $75 for the lot to $45. Upon further inspection and investigation, it was discovered that these photographs were taken by Ansel Adams, considered by many to be the father of American photography. This antique hunter has since learned that those boxes of negatives he bought for less than $50 now have an appraised value of at least $200 million!

In this passage, we see another misjudgment of value. Esau had all the rights of inheritance that came with being the firstborn son. Also, as the son of Isaac, he would stand in line to inherit God's blessing as part of the promise to Abraham, his grandfather. Yet as valuable as his birthright was, he thought it worthless enough to give up to his younger brother for a bowl of lentil soup. That error in judgment would affect his descendants throughout history.
