Explanation preview

This verse belongs to the list of animals Jacob selects as a gift for Esau, having just learned that his brother is approaching with four hundred men. The numbers are part of a deliberate strategy: the herds are split into separate droves sent ahead at intervals, so that wave after wave of gifts reaches Esau before Jacob himself does.
