Genesis 30:41

Study

       

41 En het geschiedde, telkens als de kudde der vroegelingen verhit werd, zo stelde Jakob de roeden voor de ogen der kudde in de goten, opdat zij hittig werden bij de roeden.

3992. 'I will pass through all your flock today' means that [the good of truth] recognizes the nature of all that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'flock' as good, dealt with in 343, 3518, and from the meaning of 'passing through it all' as knowing and perceiving the nature of it.
