Verses 13-15 repeat in a very similar way the ideas presented in verses 8-10. However, there is no mention here of the tail (found in verse 9). This was left out here because it concerns only the sheep. Other minor variations between these verses and verses 8-10 above have to do with the pronouns instead of full nouns, but naturalness in the receptor language should determine which of these is used.
