1 sell one's birthright
продать (своё) первородство (за чечевичную похлёбку) [этим. библ. Genesis XXV, 29-34]...I do not wonder that you, the prostrate sons of labour, are incredulous of the existence of such a man. But he who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage existed, and Judas Iscariot existed... and this man exists! (Ch. Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book II, ch. IV) —...я не удивлен, что вы, угнетенные дети труда, не верите в существование такого человека. Но тот, кто продал право своего первородства за чечевичную похлебку, существовал, и Иуда Искариот существовал... и этот человек существует.
