3499. 'And now take, I beg you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow' means the matters of doctrine concerning good which were in his possession. This is clear from the meaning of 'weapons, quiver and bow' as matters of doctrine, dealt with in 2686, 2709, here the matters of doctrine concerning good which were in his possession, that is to say, which the good of the natural, represented by 'Esau', possessed.
