Tending

This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.

And Samuel asked him, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied, “but he is tending the sheep.” “Send for him,” Samuel replied. “For we will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,

…from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of Israel His inheritance.

Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’

Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
