6121. 'Give your livestock, and I will give you [bread] in exchange for your livestock' means that they were to offer forms of the good of truth and would be sustained. This is clear from the meaning of 'livestock' as forms of the good of truth, dealt with in 6016, 6045; and from the meaning of 'giving in exchange for them' - giving them bread - as the sustaining of spiritual life, dealt with above in 6118.
