Читать книгу The Shepherd and His Staff - Theodore Mistra - Страница 3

In the Bible the shepherd’s staff appears as a source of comfort, concern and compassion, often symbolizing the Spirit of God. In Moses’ hand, it was a sign of God’s miracles and deliverance. It parted seas. To David, the Lord’s rod and staff were a source of comfort. The staff had a type of aura about it. Shepherds used a variety of equipment and aids while tending their flocks, but the staff was mainly practical, used by shepherds to draw sheep together, guide them, rescue them and set them free from entanglement.
