The New Testament condemns Esau for selling his birthright because it showed Esau's willingness to give up God's blessings for immediate satisfaction. Selling his birthright represented godlessness and lack of faith. It showed Esau's character as being self-serving,and fleshly / worldly. As for Jacob's character; the passages showed Jacobs desire and value for the ways of Spirituality, it showed he would do anything to get it, no matter the cost to others.
