In the Bible, donkeys are often depicted as humble beasts of burden, symbolizing service, peace, and humility. They are frequently mentioned in narratives involving travel, trade, and agriculture.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, donkeys were essential for daily life. They were valued for their strength, endurance, and ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. Unlike horses, which were often associated with war and royalty, donkeys were seen as symbols of peace and servitude. In biblical times, owning a donkey was a sign of wealth and status, as they were crucial for farming and trade.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2563b.htm">chomer</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a heap<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heaps (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>heap <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2560.htm">chamar</a> (compare <a href="/hebrew/2563.htm">chomer</a>); a heap -- heap. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2560.htm">chamar</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2563.htm">chomer</a> <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/hebrew/chomer_2563.htm">ḥō·mer — 9 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/hachomer_2563.htm">ha·ḥō·mer — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/kechomer_2563.htm">kə·ḥō·mer — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/lachomer_2563.htm">la·ḥō·mer — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/mechomer_2563.htm">mê·ḥō·mer — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vachomer_2563.htm">ḇa·ḥō·mer — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vechachomer_2563.htm">wə·ḵa·ḥō·mer — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vechomer_2563.htm">wə·ḥō·mer — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chemar_2564.htm">ḥê·mār — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vachemar_2564.htm">ḇa·ḥê·mār — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chamran_2566.htm">ḥam·rān — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vechimmesh_2567.htm">wə·ḥim·mêš — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bachamesh_2568.htm">ba·ḥă·mêš — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bachamishshah_2568.htm">ba·ḥă·miš·šāh — 17 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chamesh_2568.htm">ḥā·mêš — 94 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chameshet_2568.htm">ḥă·mê·šeṯ — 22 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chamishshah_2568.htm">ḥă·miš·šāh — 91 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chemesh_2568.htm">ḥə·mêš — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/hachamishshah_2568.htm">ha·ḥă·miš·šāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/kachameshet_2568.htm">ka·ḥă·mê·šeṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/2564.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2564"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2564" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2566.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2566"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2566" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
