Jehovah is the Owner of the sheep, whom “he purchased with the blood of his own Son, ” and He holds the appointed overseers accountable for the way they treat His flock, which should be“ with tenderness. ”
وَهُوَ يَعْتَبِرُ ٱلنُّظَّارَ ٱلْمُعَيَّنِينَ مَسْؤُولِينَ أَمَامَهُ عَنْ طَرِيقَةِ مُعَامَلَتِهِمْ لِرَعِيَّتِهِ ،‏ إِذْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعَامِلُوهَا « بِرِقَّةٍ » .‏
