3277. 'And they resided from Havilah as far as Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you come towards Asshur' means the whole range of intelligence, and '[his lot] fell opposite all his brothers' means disputes concerning the truth, but that he was the superior. This is clear from what has been stated in 115, 1951, where these matters have been explained.
