Genesis 25:27

Esau was an hunter — And a man that knew how to live by his wits, for he was a cunning hunter. A man of the field — All for the game, and never so well but as when he was in pursuit of it. And Jacob was a plain man — An honest man, that dealt fairly. And dwelt in tents — Either, As a shepherd, loving that safe and silent employment of keeping sheep, to which also he bred up his children, Genesis 46:34. Or, As a student, he frequented the tents of Melchizedek or Heber, as some understand it, to be taught by them divine things.
