Génesis 32:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 32:15

Thirty milch camels with their colts
Milch camels were in great esteem in the eastern countries; their milk being, as Aristotle F25 and Pliny F26 say, the sweetest of all milk: forty kine and ten bulls;
one bull to ten cows; the same proportion as in the goats and rams: twenty she asses and ten foals;
and supposing thirty colts belonging to the camels; the present consisted of five hundred and eighty head of cattle: a large number to spare out of his flocks and herds, that he had acquired in six years' time; and showed a generous disposition as well as prudence, to part with so much in order to secure the rest.

Génesis 32:15 In-Context

13 Y pasó la noche allí. Entonces de lo que tenía consigo escogió un presente para su hermano Esaú:
14 doscientas cabras y veinte machos cabríos, doscientas ovejas y veinte carneros,
15 treinta camellas criando con sus crías, cuarenta vacas y diez novillos, veinte asnas y diez asnos;
16 y los entregó a sus siervos, cada manada aparte, y dijo a sus siervos: Pasad delante de mí, y poned un buen espacio entre manada y manada.
17 Y ordenó al primero, diciendo: Cuando mi hermano Esaú te encuentre y te pregunte, diciendo: "¿De quién eres y adónde vas, y de quién son estos animales que van delante de ti?",
