17 who ⁿshall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be ^oas sheep that have no shepherd.”

2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, ^wit was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the Lord said to you, ^x‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince¹ over Israel.’”
