Thematic Bible: Keeps the flocks in folds


Thematic Bible

“Now this is what you are to say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from following the sheep to be ruler over My people Israel.

“I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

Then they approached him and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our dependents.
