4081. 'And God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me' means that those things came from the Divine. This is clear from what has been stated and shown above in 4065 and in 4075.

4019. 'And the flocks came on heat at the rods' means the effect produced by His own power. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming on heat' here as the effect, that is to say, that produced by the affection 4018; and from the meaning of 'the rods' as His own power, dealt with above in 4013, 4015.
