shall gently lead:
A beautiful image, as Bp. Lowth remarks, expressive of the tender attention of the shepherd to his flock. That the greatest care in driving the cattle, in regard to the dams and their young, was necessary, appears clearly from Jacob's apology to his brother Esau, "And he saidª° unto¹ him, My lordª knowethª° that¹ the childrenª [are] tender,ª and the flocksª and herdsª with youngª° [are] with¹ me: and if men should overdriveª° them oneª day,ª all¹ the flockª will die.ª°" {Gen 33:13}; which is set in a still stronger light by the following remarks of Sir J. Chardin: "Their flocks feed down the places of their encampments so quick, by the great numbers that they have, that they are obliged to remove them often, which is very destructive to their flocks, on account of the young ones, who have not strength enough to follow."
