*The '''waw''' in שִׁבְטְךָ֥ '''וּ֝'''מִש … </br>*The '''waw''' in שִׁבְטְךָ֥ '''וּ֝'''מִשְׁעַנְתֶּ֗ךָ ('''your rod and staff''') is a waw of addition. A shepherd's crook could serve two functions: it could be used as a weapon to ward off beasts and as a walking stick on which the shepherd would lean as he walked.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000004-QINU`"' Therefore, some scholars have interpreted the words שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ ("rod and staff") as two names for a single tool.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000005-QINU`"' However, we have followed the majority of scholars in regarding the rod and staff as two different tools.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000006-QINU`"' Although a shepherd's crook could function as both a rod and a staff, the text gives no reason to assume they are one and the same object in this case. Both terms are used elsewhere in Scripture, outside of a pastoral context (e.g., Ps 2:9 - שֵׁבֶט as scepter), in ways that do not obviously refer to a shepherd's crook. Furthermore, the repetition of the second-person possessive pronoun ("your rod" and "your staff") and the presence of the third person plural pronoun ("they comfort") indicate two distinct tools.</br>they comfort") indicate two distinct tools.
