Bible Verses About Shepherds: Tenderness to the ewes in lamb, and to the young

Ya'akov said to him, "My lord knows that the children are small, and the sheep and cattle suckling their young concern me, because if they overdrive them even one day, all the flocks will die.

Instead, please, let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the cattle ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se'ir."

from tending nursing ewes he brought him to shepherd Ya'akov his people, Isra'el his heritage.
