Genesis 27:3

Now therefore, take, I pray thee, thy weapons ,.... Or "thy vessels", or "instruments" F14 כליך "instrumenta tua", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "vasa tua", Vatablus. , his instruments of hunting: as

thy quiver and thy bow ; the former is the vessel or instrument, in which arrows were put and carried, and has its name in the Hebrew language from its being hung at the girdle, though another word is more commonly used for a quiver; and Onkelos and Jarchi interpret this of a sword; and which is not disapproved of by Aben Ezra and Ben Melech, who explain it either a quiver or a sword; and the latter was as necessary for hunting as the former, see Genesis 27:40 ; and such a sword may be meant, as Mr. Fuller observes F15 Miscell. Sacr. l. 1. c. 17. , which we call a "hanger" (i.e. a small sword often worn by seamen); and of the bow being an instrument of hunting, not anything need be said:

and go out to the field, and take me some venison ; this does not necessarily intend what we commonly call so, but anything hunted in the field, as hares, wild goats, &c.; and indeed the latter seems to be what Isaac loved, by the preparation Rebekah afterwards made.
