Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7504

7504. 'On the herd, and on the flock' means aspects of the will. This is clear from the meaning of 'the herd' as the good of the exterior natural, and from the meaning of 'the flock' as the good of the interior natural, both of which are dealt with in 5913. And since good is meant by them the will part is meant; for all good is connected with the will, and all truth with the understanding.
