These animals are noted for their strength, endurance, and humble nature, often serving as a means of transportation and labor in ancient times. Biblical References and Symbolism 1. Creation and Early Mentions: Asses are first mentioned in the context of creation, as part of the livestock that God created. They are domesticated animals, valued for their utility in agricultural societies. In <a href="/genesis/12-16.htm">Genesis 12:16</a>, Pharaoh gives Abram donkeys as part of a wealth transfer, indicating their value. 2. Patriarchal Period: The patriarchs of Israel, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, owned asses, which were considered valuable assets. In <a href="/genesis/22-3.htm">Genesis 22:3</a>, Abraham saddles his donkey to take Isaac to Mount Moriah, highlighting the animal's role in significant journeys. 3. Prophetic and Royal Symbolism: Asses are often associated with humility and peace, contrasting with horses, which symbolize war. In <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, the prophecy of the Messiah riding on a donkey signifies a king who comes in peace: "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." 4. The Story of Balaam: One of the most notable accounts involving an ass is that of Balaam's donkey in <a href="/bsb/numbers/22.htm">Numbers 22</a>. Balaam's donkey sees the angel of the Lord and refuses to move forward, ultimately speaking to Balaam. This narrative underscores the theme of divine intervention and the ability of God to use humble creatures to convey His will. 5. New Testament Fulfillment: The fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy is seen in the New Testament when Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey, as recorded in <a href="/matthew/21-5.htm">Matthew 21:5</a>: "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, known as the Triumphal Entry, emphasizes Jesus' role as the Prince of Peace. 6. Everyday Life and Parables: In the parables and teachings of Jesus, asses are often used to illustrate points about daily life and moral lessons. For example, in <a href="/luke/13-15.htm">Luke 13:15</a>, Jesus refers to the common practice of untying an ox or donkey to lead it to water on the Sabbath, highlighting the importance of compassion over legalism. Cultural and Economic Importance In biblical times, asses were essential for transportation, agriculture, and trade. They were used to carry goods, plow fields, and travel long distances. Their ability to navigate difficult terrain made them invaluable in the hilly and rugged landscapes of the Near East. Moral and Spiritual Lessons The presence of asses in biblical narratives often serves to teach lessons about humility, service, and obedience. Their role in key events, such as the Triumphal Entry, underscores the biblical theme that God values humility and uses the lowly to accomplish His purposes. In summary, asses in the Bible are more than mere animals; they are symbols of humility, service, and divine purpose, woven into the fabric of biblical history and theology.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(n.)
