Zechariah 11:7. And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
The "Beauty" is the loving-kindness of the presence of God; "thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." By "Bands" we understand binders, the unity of the flock; that which kept the people together. These are the two staves - the two staves with which the good shepherd blessed his flock when he is with them.
