Commentary

 

Shepherds of Abram’s cattle, and shepherds of Lot’s cattle

  

In Genesis 8:7, 'shepherds of cattle' signify people who teach and thus things pertaining to worship. 'The shepherds of Abram's cattle' are celestial things pertaining to the internal self, and 'the shepherds of Lot's cattle' are sensory things which pertain to the external self.
