I had hoped to get input from a Jewish source but that was not forthcoming. I did the best I could and submited my answer based on my independent research. I do this work voluntarily and for no reward or accreditation. It is a labour of love. I am not a professor or doctor of theology, but just a student who is happy to learn and pass on information to those who seek. I hope that does not offend you. | |

My question was not specific enough

| Dec 29, 2022 at 15:37 | comment | added | Lesley | @Heshy - Sounds to me like climatic conditions and temperatures in Jerusalem going back to the destruction of the third temple might be the basis for an answer! | |

Evidence of research and further information

| Dec 22, 2022 at 18:28 | comment | added | Fred | By the way, on second examination of Bava Metzia 93b, it may be that the guarding by night aspect was what was beyond the call of duty (in a place where it is customary for hired shepherds to sleep in the town at night), but that guarding in inclement weather is a requirement. | |
| Dec 22, 2022 at 18:27 | comment | added | Fred | @Lesley It's possible; sometimes bounties can draw attention to a question. I would recommend providing more context to your question, namely where you saw this "school of thought" and "counter-argument". Including the background helps others do research, and including your motivation helps others focus their answers. | |
| Dec 22, 2022 at 15:20 | comment | added | Lesley | @Fred - In your opinion, do you think this question might get an answer (or two) if I activated a bonus? And should I edit my question? If so, what would you recommend? | |
| Dec 20, 2022 at 18:43 | comment | added | Heshy | The weather today (December 20) in Jerusalem was high of 66 and sunny, according to Google. Sounds to me like a nice day to be outside. | |
| Dec 20, 2022 at 17:52 | comment | added | Lesley | I would be grateful if you could explain. If my question is off topic, how can I fix it? | |
| Dec 20, 2022 at 17:50 | comment | added | AKA | Although there is an agenda here, not sure it's technically off topic... | |

For the avoidance of doubt.....

| Dec 19, 2022 at 9:45 | comment | added | Lesley | Interesting comment. But were the shepherds outside in the fields in winter with the sheep that were to be sacrificed in the Jerusalem temple (prior to A.D. 70)? | |
| Dec 19, 2022 at 1:14 | comment | added | Fred | Genesis 31:40, describing the lengths to which Ya'akov went to guard Lavan's flocks, implies Ya'akov guarded the flocks in inclement weather: "הָיִיתִי בַיּוֹם אֲכָלַנִי חֹרֶב וְקֶרַח בַּלָּיְלָה וַתִּדַּד שְׁנָתִי מֵעֵינָי". The Talmud (Bava Metzia 93b) indicates that this was beyond the call of duty for a hired shepherd. | |
