The term "goat herder" is being used as a pejorative, a scurrilous slander of goat herders around the world. I can guarantee no goat herder penned a single word of the bible. The ideas presented in the bible required literacy, not an extensive knowledge of animal husbandry. That, plus the fact that no goat herder would ever require the death of so many animals when engaged in genocide. Letʻs find a more suitable term, please. Thank you
