TSK · Numbers 27:17

That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return [therefore] every man to his house in peace.

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd.

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

But he answered and said, ‹I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.›

‹To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.›

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
