Hunting:
mentioned first in Gen 10:9 in connection with Nimrod. Esau was "a cunning hunter" (Gen 25:27). Hunting was practised by the Hebrews after their settlement in the "Land of Promise" (Lev 17:15; Pro 12:27). The lion and other ravenous beasts were found in Palestine (1Sa 17:34; 2Sa 23:20; 1Ki 13:24; Eze 19:3-8), and it must have been necessary to hunt and destroy them. Various snares and gins were used in hunting (Psa 91:3; Amo 3:5; 2Sa 23:20).
War is referred to under the idea of hunting (Jer 16:16; Eze 32:30).
