They are depicted as valuable animals used for transportation, agriculture, and trade. In biblical times, donkeys were considered essential for daily life and were often associated with humility, service, and peace. Biblical References and Symbolism: Donkeys appear in various contexts in the Bible, serving as symbols of humility and peace. Unlike horses, which were often associated with war, donkeys were seen as animals of peace and servitude. This symbolism is evident in several key biblical narratives. 1. Abraham and the Patriarchs: Donkeys were used by the patriarchs for transportation and carrying goods. In <a href="/genesis/22-3.htm">Genesis 22:3</a>, Abraham saddles his donkey to take Isaac to the land of Moriah for the sacrifice, highlighting the donkey's role in significant biblical events. 2. Balaam's Donkey: One of the most famous accounts involving a donkey is that of Balaam's donkey in <a href="/numbers/22-21.htm">Numbers 22:21-33</a>. Balaam's donkey sees the angel of the LORD and refuses to move forward, ultimately speaking to Balaam. This narrative underscores the donkey's role as an instrument of divine intervention and revelation. 3. The Law and Donkeys: The Mosaic Law includes specific instructions regarding the treatment of donkeys. <a href="/exodus/23-5.htm">Exodus 23:5</a> instructs, "If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it." This command emphasizes compassion and assistance, even towards one's enemies. 4. King David and Solomon: Donkeys were used by Israelite kings, symbolizing their role as leaders of peace. In <a href="/1_kings/1-33.htm">1 Kings 1:33</a>, King David instructs that Solomon be placed on his own mule for his anointing as king, signifying a peaceful transition of power. 5. The Prophets: The prophets often used donkeys in their imagery and messages. <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a> prophesies the coming of a king riding on a donkey: "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." 6. Jesus' Triumphal Entry: The fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy is seen in the New Testament when Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. In <a href="/matthew/21-5.htm">Matthew 21:5</a>, it is written, "Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'" This event underscores Jesus' role as the Prince of Peace and His mission of humility and salvation. Cultural and Economic Importance: In biblical times, donkeys were highly valued for their strength, endurance, and ability to navigate difficult terrain. They were used for plowing fields, carrying heavy loads, and as a means of transportation for people and goods. The ownership of donkeys was often a sign of wealth and prosperity. Conclusion: Throughout the Bible, donkeys serve as important symbols and practical animals, reflecting themes of humility, service, and peace. Their presence in key biblical narratives highlights their significance in the cultural and religious life of ancient Israel.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(n.)
