6074. 'And they said to Pharaoh, Shepherds of the flock are your servants' means that they lead to good. This is clear from the meaning of 'shepherds of the flock' as those who lead to good, dealt with in 6044, here truths that lead to good since the truths of the Church are represented by 'the sons of Jacob'.
