3 Now then, get your equipment-your quiver and bow-and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
3 Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me,
3 Do me a favor: Get your quiver of arrows and your bow and go out in the country and hunt me some game.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
3 Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows, and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 27:3
Commentary on Genesis 27:1-5
(Read Genesis 27:1-5)
The promises of the Messiah, and of the land of Canaan, had come down to Isaac. Isaac being now about 135 years of age, and his sons about 75, and not duly considering the Divine word concerning his two sons, that the elder should serve the younger, resolved to put all the honour and power that were in the promise, upon Esau his eldest son. We are very apt to take measures rather from our own reason than from Divine revelation, and thereby often miss our way.
