his hunted-game

Rootצוד (ṣ-w-d)
Core Meaningsto hunt, to chase, to lie in wait, to catch by pursuit
Semantic Rangeprey obtained by hunting, game animals, that which is caught by pursuit, provisions gained from hunting, by extension food or travel provisions
Conceptual SignificanceIn the biblical world, צַיִד evokes the skill and sustenance of the hunter, often associated with figures like Esau. It reflects reliance on pursuit and provision through human effort, sometimes contrasted with pastoral or agrarian livelihood.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (צֵיד) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his hunted-game."
Rendering RationaleThe noun צַיִד derives from the root צוד, "to hunt" or "to chase." Rendering it as "hunted-game" preserves the active sense of pursuit inherent in the root, while the 3rd masculine singular suffix (־וֹ) is reflected in "his." The singular form matches the masculine singular construct noun with pronominal suffix.
