This is clear from the meaning of 'the flock' as interior forms of good, and from the meaning of 'the herd' as exterior forms, both dealt with in 5913. And since forms of the good of truth are meant, the expression 'the livestock of the flock and the livestock of the herd' is used, 'livestock' being the good of truth, 6016, 6045, 6049.

6016. 'And took their livestock' means forms of the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'livestock' as the good of truth. For 'livestock' is used to mean both flocks and herds, and also horses, camels, mules, and asses; and since 'flocks' in the internal sense are interior forms of good and 'herds' exterior ones, while 'horses, camels, mules, and asses are powers of the understanding, all of which are associated with truths, 'livestock' means the good of truth.
