6087. 'Then set them as the chief men over the livestock belonging to me' means that they are the first and foremost among known facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'chief men' or princes as features that are first and foremost, dealt with in 1482, 2089, 5044; and from the meaning of 'the livestock' as truths from which good springs, dealt with in 6016, 6045, 6048, at this point factual knowledge that has those truths within it, since the expression used is 'over the livestock belonging to me', that is, to Pharaoh, who does not represent truths that have good within them but factual knowledge that has truths within it.
