4260. Verses 13-15 And he spent that night there, and took from what came into his hand a gift for Esau his brother: two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats; two hundred sheep and twenty rams; thirty milking camels and their colts; forty young cows and ten young bulls; twenty she-asses and ten foals.

'He spent that night there' means in that state of obscurity. 'And took from what came into his hand a gift for Esau his brother' means Divine things that were to be introduced into celestial-natural good. 'Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats; two hundred sheep and twenty rams' means Divine goods and accompanying truths. 'Thirty milking camels and their colts; forty young cows and ten young bulls; twenty she-asses and ten foals' means things that are subservient, general and specific.
