Ramban on Genesis 32:14/רמב"ן על בראשית ל״ב:י״ד
אמִן הַבָּא בְיָדוֹ מִנְחָה יֹאמַר כִּי עָשָׂה מִנְחָה מֵאֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ, כִּי עָשְׁרוֹ הָיָה צֹאן וּבָקָר וּמֵהֶם שָׁלַח, כִּי בַּדֶּרֶךְ הָיָה וְאֵינֶנּוּ מָקוֹם לִשְׁלֹחַ לוֹ כְּלֵי כֶסֶף וּכְלֵי זָהָב וּמִגְדָּנוֹת:
1OF THAT WHICH HE HAD WITH HIM A PRESENT. Scripture states that he composed a gift out of that which he had since his wealth consisted of flocks and herds, and it was from them that Jacob sent a gift, for he was en-route and he had no opportunity to send him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold… and precious things.39
