1 | Why does Matthew indicate two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | Morant61 | 185504 | ||
Greetings Dpoag! This is a good example of someone at Wikipedia not doing their homework. :-) The 'them' of Mt. 21:7 does not refer to the donkey and the foal, but to the clothes (plural) that were placed upon the animals. Matthew is not claiming that Jesus rode two animals! He is saying that Jesus sat upon the clothes that were placed upon the animals. The other Gospels make it clear that He only rode the foal.

2 | Does Zech 9 indicate one or two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185506 | ||
Tim, It is very kind of you to take the time to answer questions. I didn't not even notice the fact that it says he sat on the coats, not the donkey. I guess that would have helped! My next question is do you find it curious that Matthew indicates two donkeys as Wikipedia alludes to as being a fabrication. Let me say it this way, do you interpret Zechariah 9 to mean that there are two donkeys or one donkey supporting that the poetic style is really meaning one donkey. Honestly this seems silly talking about one or two donkeys but I appreciate your thoughts. |

3 | Does Zech 9 indicate one or two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | Morant61 | 185508 | ||
Greetings Dpoag! As Doc already mentioned, Hebrew poetry made extensive use of parallelisms. So, Zech. 9:9 is only referring to one donkey, the colt. Matthew's account agrees with Zech. 9:9 as Jesus only rides the colt, even though the mother comes along with the foal. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
