It conveys the idea of animals being led or gathered together, often under the guidance of a shepherd or leader. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe a herd of swine.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, herding was a common occupation. Shepherds and herdsmen played a crucial role in the agrarian society, managing flocks of sheep, goats, and other livestock. The imagery of herding is frequently used in the Bible to illustrate spiritual truths, such as God's care for His people and the leadership of Christ as the Good Shepherd.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/71.htm">agó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a herd<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>herd (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 34: ἀγέλη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγέλη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἄγω</span> to drive), <span class="accented">a herd</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-30.htm">Matthew 8:30</a>ff; <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-11.htm">Mark 5:11, 13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-32.htm">Luke 8:32</a>f.
