Psalm 23:  Green Pastures

This is the Judean "green pastures" where David would have pastured his sheep.   This is NOT an easy walk of life.  The hills are made of chalk and limestone, making it very difficult to walk at times.  The desert is, of course, very hot with very little water.

Maybe the operative word in the text should be "He MAKETH me to lie down in green pastures." 






 

Thistles are the food supply for the sheep and goats in the desert pasture.  They are also naturally medicinal while making the future meat supply sweet.  Grain is seldom used for feed.

 

 

The "Shadow of Death" (the deep Wadis) with the "still waters."  The still waters are the pools of water that stand in the Wadi after a dangerous and killing wall of water passes through the Land on the way to the Dead Sea.
