Status Updates From The Works of Philo

Speaking of Moses' leadership over Israel:

"He kept one most invariable object always steadily before him, namely, that of benefiting those who were subjected to his authority, and of doing everything both in word and deed, with a view to their advantage, never omitting any opportunity of doing anything that might tend to their prosperity." (Life of Moses, Book 1:51)

Moses took his father-in-law’s herds and tended them, being thus instructed in the lessons proper to qualify him for becoming the leader of a people, for the business of a shepherd is a preparation for the office of a king to any one who is destined to preside over that most manageable of all flocks, mankind. (Life of Moses, I:60)

DNF’ing this :( sorry Philo maybe some other day. You are pretty interesting but it’s just too much to read. I can definitely see myself coming back to finish this later.
