Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2339 (θηράω, thēraō): This Greek term is related to hunting or pursuing game, similar to the Hebrew צַיִד. It appears in the New Testament in contexts that metaphorically describe the pursuit or capture of something, reflecting the broader cultural understanding of hunting as a pursuit or chase.

Usage: The word צַיִד appears in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often related to hunting and the provisions obtained from it. It is used to describe both the act of hunting and the food that results from it.

Context: • Contextual Overview: In the Hebrew Bible, צַיִד is frequently associated with the lifestyle and practices of ancient Near Eastern cultures, where hunting was a common means of obtaining food. It is often mentioned in narratives involving patriarchal figures and their descendants, highlighting the importance of hunting in their daily lives and survival.

• Biblical References:
• Genesis 25:27: "When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home." Here, צַיִד is associated with Esau, who is described as a "skillful hunter," indicating his proficiency in the chase and his reliance on game for sustenance.
• Genesis 27:3: "Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me." In this passage, Isaac instructs Esau to hunt game (צַיִד) to prepare a meal, underscoring the role of hunting in providing food for familial and ceremonial occasions.
• Genesis 27:5: "Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back," further illustrates the cultural significance of hunting as a means of securing provisions.

• Cultural and Theological Significance: The concept of צַיִד reflects the agrarian and pastoral lifestyle of the biblical patriarchs, where hunting was not only a practical necessity but also a skill that defined one's role and identity within the family and community. The narratives involving צַיִד often carry deeper theological themes, such as the dynamics of blessing, inheritance, and divine providence.
