The meaning of Hunting in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)mentioned first in Genesis 10:9 in connection with Nimrod. Esau was "a cunning hunter" (Genesis 25:27). Hunting was practised by the Hebrews after their settlement in the "Land of Promise" (Leviticus 17:15; Proverbs 12:27). The lion and other ravenous beasts were found in Palestine (I Samuel 17:34; 2Sam 23:20; I Kings 13:24; Ezekiel 19:3-8), and it must have been necessary to hunt and destroy them. Various snares and gins were used in hunting (Psalms 91:3; Amos 3:5; 2Sam 23:20).
