As anyone who has ever spoken to a christian will know, riding into Y'rushalayim on a horse is a sign of being the Messiah, because
"Zechariah" prophesied it (9:9)! Now, the above photo is a very famous one of the British WW1 commander, Gen. Edmund Allenby, who defeated the
Ottoman Turks in 1918, riding into Y'rushalayim on his horse (an event that even I am not old enough to be able to remember). It therefore follows
that Gen. Allenby was the Messiah!
Another messiah?

Our raison d'être:
WHOSOEVER DESTROYS A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE IMPUTES [GUILT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD DESTROYED A COMPLETE WORLD; AND WHOSOEVER PRESERVES A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE ASCRIBES [MERIT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD PRESERVED A COMPLETE WORLD. (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin, 37a) The fruits of our effort: The battle against spiritual terrorism is being won, one soul at a time!!! |

In other words, both words refer to the same animal − there are not two separate animals in the verse; you should not be confused by the use of the conjunction וְ־ v'-, which is frequently used to connect the two halves of the pleonasms that are so common in the poetic passages of the T'nach. Apart from this verse, the word עַיִר ayir only occurs in seven other places in the entire T'nach (viz.: B'réshιt 32:16, 49:11; Shoftim 10:4, 12:14; Y'shayahu 30:6, 30:24; Iyyov 11:12) and means the young of the חֲמוֹר hamor ("donkey"). Incidentally, it should not be overlooked that the "king" this verse talks about is described as נוֹשָׁע nosha, which means "[having been] saved" − rather a strange term to apply to Yoshke, don't you think? http://mordochai.tripod.com - פרופ' מָרְדֳּכַי בֶּן-צִיּוֹן, יְרוּשָׁלַיִם, אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל |

Yes. I know the post was intended for humor. You got a smile out of me.
Just didn't want to forget the very young donkey. You don't normally see a king riding one. They usually have the best bred, biggest, mightiest horse. Details are important afterall,... as you pointed out another interesting one. |
