3594. 'And he said, Who then is he who has hunted venison and brought it to me' means questioning regarding that truth. This is clear from the representation of Jacob, to whom 'who is he?' refers here, as the truth of the natural, dealt with above, and from the meaning of 'venison' as truth acquired from good, dealt with in 3501. Here the question asked is whether that truth was derived from good.
