4011. 'And Jacob was feeding the rest of Laban's flocks' means that from the ones that were left there were taken the goods and truths which were to be joined to the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flocks' as goods and truths, dealt with in 343, 2566, 3767, 3768, 3772, 3783. The fact that 'feeding the rest of the flocks' means that from the ones that were left there were taken the goods and truths which were to be joined to the truth of good is evident from what follows below, for this is what is dealt with there.
