“He is Brought As a Lamb to the Slaughter”

Alan C. Miner

[For interesting commentary relative to "the Lamb," see 1 Nephi 10:10; 11:32-33; 12:11; 12:18; 13:28; 13:39; 14:3]

Mosiah 14:7 As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth ([Illustration]): A shepherd prepares to shear his sheep, Bethany. A sheepshearer uses special shears to cut the wool from sheep. Apparent from the scripture, the sheep's owners or their workers sheared their sheep rather than contracting that work out to others.
