The objective of this assignment is to integrate the meaning of biblical passages with the cultural context of shepherding.
Look up the passages listed below and read them in context to determine the relevance of each passage for keeping sheep or flocks (shepherding concepts). Briefly write out what each text tells us about:
Shepherding in Old Testament times (the actual physical occupation).
Any economic, legal, or social implications of the passage (the sociological context).
The spiritual message of this moment in the Bible (the spiritual message from the text).
Think through the context of each passage as your answers will change from passage to passage since they occur in different situations.
Genesis 13:6-8Abraham & Lot
Genesis 30:27-34Laban & Jacob
1 Samuel 17:34-36David
Ezekiel 34:5-10Shepherds
