It is appropriate that the Bible likens people whom God favors to sheep, for sheep are peaceful, submissive, obedient to their caring shepherd.
On kohane, et Piibel võrdleb Jumala soosingus olevaid inimesi lammastega, kuna lambad on rahumeelsed ja allaheitlikud ning kuuletuvad oma hoolitsevale karjasele.
