________________________________
The picture of the shepherd is deeply woven into the language and imagery of the Bible.
Throughout the Bible period, the shepherd was a familiar figure of the Judæan uplands.
The life of a Palestinian shepherd was very hard; indeed, it is so still. There is little grass, and its growth , where it does appear, is seasonal. Flocks must be for ever on the move to find it, and the edges of the plateau, only 35 miles long and 17 miles wide, dip away sharply into craggy desert land below. No flock may ever graze without a shepherd to watch it. The shepherd therefore was never off duty. His task was unremitting and dangerous: his sheep were prey to wolves, bears and lions in Bible times, to thieves and robbers, and in the wet season to flash floods and land slides.
