4150. 'Examine for yourself what is with me, and take them to yourself means that everything belonging to that good had been separated. This is clear from the literal meaning of these words, which is that 'nothing that is yours resides with me', that is, nothing belonging to the good meant by 'Laban' is present in the good which 'Jacob' represents, and therefore that everything belonging to that good had been separated.
