OLD TESTAMENT

God is the Shepherd (Gen 49:24; Ps 23; 80:1).
God’s appointed leaders are undershepherds (Ezek 34).
Many people in the Old Testament were shepherds by trade, like Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Rachel, Jacob, Moses, and David.
Foreign leaders were sometimes called shepherds when their leadership impacted God’s people (Isa 44:28).
The prophets depicted the distress of Israel without leadership or bad leader in terms of a flock without a shepherd (Ezek 34:1-10; Zech 10:2; 13:7).
The prophets used shepherds imagery to point to the Messiah to come (Ezek 34:22-24; 37:24; Isa 40:11; Zech 13:7; see also Matt 26:31; Mark 14:27).
