4178.“为你的羊群服事六年”表为了祂以后能获得良善。这从“六”和“羊群”的含义清楚可知:“六”是指争战和劳碌(参看720,737,900节),在此是指争战和劳碌之后保留下来的东西,因而是指以后到来的东西;“羊群”是指良善(343,2566,3518节)。
Potts(1905-1910) 4178
4178. And six years for thy flock. That this signifies that He might afterwards acquire good, is evident from the signification of "six," as being combat and labor (see n. 720, 737, 900), here, that which remained of combat and labor, and thus what came afterwards; and from the signification of "flock," as being good (n. 343, 2566, 3518).
Elliott(1983-1999) 4178
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.
Latin(1748-1756) 4178
4178. `Et sex annis in grege tuo': quod significet ut dein bonum, constat a significatione `sex' quod sit pugna et labor, de qua n. 720, 737, 900, hic reliquum pugnae et laboris, ita dein; et ex significatione `gregis' quod sit bonum, de qua n. 343, 3566, 3518.
