Bible Verses About Sheep: Shearing of

Now Lavan had gone to shear his sheep, so Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father,

In due time, Shua's daughter, the wife of Y'hudah, died. After Y'hudah had been comforted, he went up to be with his sheep-shearers in Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the 'Adulami.

Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law has gone up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

So she took off her widow's clothes, completely covered her face with her veil, and sat at the entrance to 'Einayim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah had grown up, but she still was not being given to him as his wife.

When Y'hudah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, because she had covered her face.

So he went over to her where she was sitting and said, not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, "Come, let me sleep with you." She answered, "What will you pay to sleep with me?"

He said, "I will send you a kid from the flock of goats." She said, "Will you also give me something as a guarantee until you send it"

Though mistreated, he was submissive - he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to be slaughtered, like a sheep silent before its shearers, he did not open his mouth.
