Party in a biblical swindle (4)

I believe the answer is:

esau

(Other definitions for esau that I've seen before include "Jacob's twin (Bible)" , "Cheated brother" , "brother done in Bible" , "Biblical man who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage" , "Son of Isaac and Rebecca" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
