[Redbeck]

"A mess of pottage is something immediately attractive but of little value taken foolishly and carelessly
in exchange for something more distant and perhaps less tangible but immensely more valuable.
The phrase alludes to Esau's sale of his birthright for a meal ("mess") of lentil stew ("pottage")
in Genesis 25:29-34 and connotes shortsightedness and misplaced priorities."














Esau and the mess of pottage by Dutch Painter Jan Victors 1619 to 1676 Work period circa 1635 and circa 1672
