Herds were an essential part of the agrarian society in ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, providing milk, meat, hides, and other resources necessary for daily life and religious practices. Old Testament References The concept of herding is deeply embedded in the Old Testament, where it is often associated with wealth and prosperity. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the patriarchs of Israel, were all herdsmen, indicating the importance of livestock in their livelihoods. <a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a> describes Abram as "very wealthy in livestock, silver, and gold," highlighting the significance of herds as a measure of wealth. In the Mosaic Law, specific regulations were given concerning the management and treatment of herds. For instance, the Sabbath law extended to animals, as seen in <a href="/exodus/20-10.htm">Exodus 20:10</a>, which commands rest for "your ox and your donkey and any of your livestock." This reflects the broader biblical principle of stewardship and care for God's creation. New Testament References In the New Testament, herds are mentioned less frequently but still hold symbolic significance. Jesus uses the imagery of shepherds and their flocks to convey spiritual truths. In <a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>, Jesus declares, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." While this passage primarily focuses on sheep, the broader context of pastoral care and the relationship between shepherd and herd is evident. The parable of the Prodigal Son in <a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a> also touches on the theme of herding. The younger son squanders his inheritance and ends up feeding pigs, a stark contrast to the wealth and provision associated with well-managed herds. Cultural and Religious Significance Herds were not only economic assets but also held religious significance. Sacrificial systems in the Old Testament often required offerings from the herd. <a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm">Leviticus 1:3</a> specifies that a burnt offering should be "a male without blemish from the herd," underscoring the importance of herds in worship and atonement practices. The imagery of herding also serves as a metaphor for leadership and guidance. Leaders in Israel were often likened to shepherds, responsible for the welfare of their people, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/34-2.htm">Ezekiel 34:2-3</a>, where God rebukes the shepherds of Israel for neglecting their duties. Symbolism and Lessons The Bible uses the concept of herding to teach various spiritual lessons. The relationship between shepherd and herd is a powerful metaphor for God's care and guidance of His people. <a href="/bsb/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a> famously begins, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want," illustrating the trust and provision found in God's leadership. Moreover, the discipline and diligence required in herding serve as a model for spiritual vigilance and stewardship. <a href="/proverbs/27-23.htm">Proverbs 27:23</a> advises, "Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds," encouraging believers to be attentive and responsible in their spiritual and practical lives. In summary, herds in the Bible are multifaceted symbols of wealth, responsibility, and divine care, reflecting the agrarian context of the biblical narrative and offering enduring lessons for faith and practice.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Herd(a collection of cattle), Herdsmen. The herd was greatly regarded in both the patriarchal and the Mosaic period. The ox was the most precious stock next to horse and mule. The herd yielded the most esteemed sacrifice, (<a href="/numbers/7-3.htm">Numbers 7:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/69-31.htm">Psalms 69:31</a>; <a href="/isaiah/66-3.htm">Isaiah 66:3</a>) also flesh meat, and milk, chiefly converted probably, into butter and cheese.

Herdsmen, etc., in Egypt were a low, perhaps the lowest, caste; but of the abundance of cattle in Egypt, and of the care there bestowed on them, there is no doubt. (<a href="/genesis/47-6.htm">Genesis 47:6,17</a>; <a href="/exodus/9-4.htm">Exodus 9:4,20</a>) So the plague of hail was sent to smite especially the cattle, (<a href="/psalms/78-48.htm">Psalms 78:48</a>) the firstborn of which also were smitten.

(<a href="/exodus/12-38.htm">Exodus 12:38</a>) Cattle formed thus one of the traditions of the Israelitish nation in its greatest period, and became almost a part of that greatness.
