The Old Testament Bible is written in Hebrew.

The New Testament Bible is written in Greek.

 

p.178  Psalm 23: Psalm 23 portrays God as a good shepherd, feeding and leading his flock. It is known that the shepherd is to know each sheep by name, thus when God is given the analogy of a shepherd, he is not only a protector but also the caretaker. God, as the caretaker, leads the sheep to green pasture and still waters because he knows that each of his sheep must be personally led to be fed. Thus, without its Shepherd, the sheep would die either by a predator or of starvation, since sheep are known for their stupidity.

Tieresias: One day, Tiresias came upon a pair of copulating snakes, he hit the pair a smart blow with his stick. Hera was not pleased, and she punished Tiresias by transforming him into a woman. After seven years as a woman, Tiresias again found mating snakes. He hit the pair again and he transformed  to a man. Later on, Tiresias was drawn into an argument between Hera and her husband Zeus, on the theme of who has more pleasure in sex: the man, as Hera claimed; or, as Zeus claimed, the woman, as Tiresias had experienced both. Tiresias replied, "Of ten parts a man enjoys one only." Hera instantly struck him blind for his impiety. Zeus could do nothing to stop her or reverse her curse, but in recompence he did give Tiresias the gift of foresight and a lifespan of seven lives.

Tiresias strikes two snakes with a stick, and is transformed into a woman by Hera.
