4178. 'And six years for your flock' means the purpose of which was that He might acquire good after that. This is clear from the meaning of 'six' as conflict and labour, dealt with in 720, 737, 900, in this case that which remained after conflict and labour, and so that which came after; and from the meaning of 'flock' as good, dealt with in 343, 2566, 3518.
