In Egypt herdsmen were probably of the lowest caste. Some of Joseph’s brethren were made rulers over Pharaoh’s cattle (Gen. 47:6<\/span>, 17<\/span>). The Israelites were known in Egypt as “keepers of cattle;” and when they left it they took their flocks and herds with them (Ex. 12:38<\/span>). Both David and Saul came from “following the herd” to occupy the throne (1 Sam. 9<\/span>; 11:5<\/span>; Ps. 78:70<\/span>). David’s herd-masters were among his chief officers of state. The daughters also of wealthy chiefs were wont to tend the flocks of the family (Gen. 29:9<\/span>; Ex. 2:16<\/span>). The “chief of the herdsmen” was in the time of the monarchy an officer of high rank (1 Sam. 21:7<\/span>; comp. 1 Chr. 27:29<\/span>). The herdsmen lived in tents (Isa. 38:12<\/span>; Jer. 6:3<\/span>); and there were folds for the cattle (Num. 32:16<\/span>), and watch-towers for the herdsmen, that he might therefrom observe any coming danger (Micah 4:8<\/span>; Nah. 3:8<\/span>).<\/p>\n hurdzman (, boker; the King James Version, the English Revised Version herdman): A cowherd (Amo 7:14).

Spotting the wool with different dyes is still the method of distinguishing between the sheep of different flocks. The herdsman is seldom the owner of the sheep, but a hireling.
