Trey Knowles: What is a Shepherd?

Read more »

 

A shepherd is a person who takes care of sheep. Shepherds tend, herd, feed, or guard sheep. The word "shepherd" comes from the Old English words sceap (sheep) and hierde (herder). 

Shepherds lead a manageable number of sheep from the front of the flock. The sheep follow because they know and trust the shepherd. 

"Shepherd" can also be used as a verb to mean to move and care for sheep, or to lead people somewhere. For example, "Shepherded the student through algebra". 

"Shepherd" can also mean to protect, guide, or watch over a person or group of people. For example, "watch over like a shepherd, as a teacher of her pupils".

The definition of the Firmament can be essentially summarized as the arch or vault over the earth and sky that separates the earthly realm from what is beyond.

Arch- a curved symmetrical structure spanning an opening and typically supporting the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it.

the firmament as “the vault or arch of the sky; heavens.”

Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven..." (Genesis 1:6-8 NKJV).
