4382. 'At the walking-pace of the cattle that are before me' means as determined by the things that are general. This becomes clear from what has gone before. By 'the walking-pace of the cattle' are meant the things that have been stated above - 'the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with me are suckling; and if the men overdrive them for one day, all the flocks will die' which, as is evident from what has been stated there, meant as determined by the things that are general. The expression 'the walking-pace of the cattle' is used, and after that 'the walking-pace of the children', because 'the foot' means the natural, see 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, and the subject at present is the natural.
