Psalm 78: 71 – Bible Commentary

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Each time I read this verse I think of a duty that has been performed well and obediently (Jacob), that now transcends into a higher form of spiritual demonstration (Israel). This is how we ascend higher in thought and demonstration. In checking out Bible commentaries to both validate and seek additional understanding, here is what Barnes’ Notes on the Bible said:

    Psalm 78: 71
    “From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.”

    Barnes’ Notes on the Bible
    …”The meaning is, that he brought him from being a shepherd to be the ruler of his people – expressed still in the language of a shepherd life.
    To feed Jacob his people – Rather, to be a shepherd to them; to perform toward them the office of a shepherd, including the ideas of governing them, providing for them, and defending them. See the notes at Psalm 23:1-2.”
