Genesis 21:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”

“He will be a wild donkey of a man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live

to the east of all his brothers.”

When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man,

living in tents.

“The archers bitterly attacked him,
And shot at him and harassed him;
