easily, in case you're taking an extremely close look at the subject, i think of you will locate that what we call "the Bible" steadily got here together over an extremely long volume of time. Stuff is in the Bible that very possibly had a non-verbal beginning place going returned in the previous than one thousand BC. of direction it replaced somewhat whilst it have been given written down, yet relatively some the myths in Genesis and Exodus is fairly possibly in line with oral traditions going returned that a techniques. And the neat thoughts approximately Saul and his son Jonathon and friendship between Jonathon and David in all hazard pass returned just about that a techniques. human beings who've regarded into it look in 2 communities, the two giving the myths no foundation in any respect, or giving them a particularly substantial place. The stuff that's getting quoted ("you could no longer stay to tell the story bread in elementary terms.") comes from this early fabric; the human beings quoting it are of a plenty later era, which includes first century advert. undergo in suggestions that by potential of the 1st century advert, the Hebrew Bible is particularly plenty in its very final variety, and for the human beings of Jesus' time, this early stuff became into their Bible. it is what they discovered in schul (or its first-century equivalent), and it is what ruled their existence and drove the moral factor of their subculture. So it is organic that they quoted it. besides the undeniable fact that, once I observed your question, I on the instant seen the different quoting that is going on. in case you look at the Psalms, you presently and returned hit upon a Psalm quoted just about verbatim in yet another e book, and no credit being given, of direction. That Samuel, Kings and Chronicles has foundation in shared fabric is obtrusive because of the fact at cases the texts are precisely a similar. earlier each and every little thing that's what i concept you have been conversing approximately. besides the undeniable fact that, the two questions are very exciting, demonstrating how complicated the origins of the Hebrew Bible are, and the honour wherein the 1st-century human beings held the Hebrew Scriptures.

The first line means God will give you rest in a place that is full of growth, a place where you can feel safe and well taken care of.
The second line means He will lead you in a place that will give you a calm spirit. Meaning that yes storms may come and bring a disturbance in your life, but you still can feel calm during those times because God is leading you by still water.

This, from the 23rd Psalm, is metaphor for shepherding, as is the rest of the psalm. Green pastures are obviously of use for sheep, as is water.
