 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; Prov. 12:27). The lion and other ravenous beasts were
    found in Palestine (1 Sam. 17:34; 2 Sam. 23:20; 1 Kings 13:24;
    Ezek. 19:3-8), and it must have been necessary to hunt and
    destroy them. Various snares and gins were used in hunting (Ps.
    91:3; Amos 3:5; 2 Sam. 23:20).
      War is referred to under the idea of hunting (Jer. 16:16;
    Ezek. 32:30).
