Why did esau have to ask Jacob for food?

Jacob and Esau have a rough history. It was prophesied that Jacob would be the ruler of the nation and Esau would be Jacob's servant. The bible says that Jacob and Esau have been fighting ever since birth. After Esau had been working on the fields and was very tired, Jacob offered him a bowl of soup for his birthright. Esau had sold him the birthright for a bowl of soup. Jacob then deceived Isaac into giving him the blessing of the firstborn. Jacob then fled to his brother Laban's house. Esau was very angry with Jacob because he no longer had power in his family, Jacob had taken everything from Esau. Esau's bitter hatred for Jacob lasted for a long time.
