Ass: Frequently mentioned throughout Scripture. Of the domesticated species we read of,

1. The she ass (Heb. 'athon), so named from its slowness

(Genesis 12:16; 45:23; Numbers 22:23; 1 Samuel 9:3)

2. The male ass (Heb. hamor), the common working ass of Western Asia, so called from its red colour. Issachar is compared to a strong ass (Genesis 49:14) It was forbidden to yoke together an ass and an ox in the plough (Deuteronomy 22:10)

3. The ass's colt (Heb. 'air), mentioned (Judges 10:4; 12:14) It is rendered "foal" in (Genesis 32:15; 49:11) Comp. (Job 11:12; Isaiah 30:6) The ass is an unclean animal, because it does not chew the cud

(Leviticus 11:26) Comp. (2 Kings 6:25) Asses constituted a considerable portion of wealth in ancient times (Genesis 12:16)

(Genesis 30:43; 1 Chronicles 27:30; Job 1:3; 42:12) They were noted for their spirit and their attachment to their master (Isaiah 1:3) They are frequently spoken of as having been ridden upon, as by Abraham (Genesis 22:3) Balaam (Numbers 22:21) the disobedient prophet

(1 Kings 13:23) the family of Abdon the judge, seventy in number (Judges 12:14) Zipporah (Exodus 4:20) the Shunammite

(2 Kings 4:24-25) etc. Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9) predicted our Lord's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, "riding upon an ass, and upon a colt," etc. (Matthew 21:5) R.V. Of wild asses two species are noticed, a. that called in Hebrew mentioned (Job 39:5; Daniel 5:21) noted for its swiftness; and b. that called pe're, the wild ass of Asia (Job 39:6-8)

(Job 6:5; 11:12; Isaiah 32:14; Jeremiah 2:24; 14:6) etc. The wild ass was distinguished for its fleetness and its extreme shyness. In allusion to his mode of life, Ishmael is likened to a wild ass (Genesis 16:12) (Here the word is simply rendered "wild" in the Authorized Version, but in the Revised Version, "wild-ass among men".)
