In fact, many Tegents,of the third and second millenniums BC; were called" shepherd Kings! The early Israelites understood the shepherd motif. They were, in fact, descendants of Babylonia. They also recognized this motif's prophetic significances The patriarch Jacob declared to his sons that the promised Messiah, would come as a‘ohephera!’(1) over fifteen cent- uries later this Savior appeared, and in Terael He claimed that He vee “sethe Good Shepherd) the Good Shepherd giveth fie 1ife for the sheep!

The Egyptians remembered a shepherd god they called Set. In fact, the Hyksos, (Foreign Rulers), were Shepherd Kings who ruled Egypt in the 2nd millennium BC ,that highly esteemed Set. (31) Set was a strong Bod, who hunted animals, and shot arrows of heat! A god of war, he is depicted upon the monuments of Karnak instructing a Pharoah, in the art of archery.
