¹³ In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.

³² And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

²⁶ And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.

⁴ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

³ The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

⁴ When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.
