This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Esau was a hunter of wild beasts, and afterwards an oppressor of men. Compare Gen_10:9. This course of life was most agreeable to his complexion, fierce and violent.
A man of the field; one that delighted more in conversing abroad than at home, whose employment it was to pursue the beasts through fields, and woods, and mountains, who therefore chose a habitation fit for his purpose in Mount Seir.
A plain man, a sincere, honest, and plain-hearted man; or a just and perfect man, as the word is used, Gen_6:9;
dwelling in tents, quietly minding the management of his own domestic affairs, his lands and cattle, and giving no disturbance either to wild beasts or men.
