חֲמוֹר, chanmor' (Genesis 12:16; elsewhere simply "ass"), the general designation of the donkey (Exodus 13:13, etc.) for carrying burdens (Exodus 42:26) and ploughing (Isaiah 30:24),being regarded as a patient (Genesis 49:14) and contented animal for riding in time of peace (2 Samuel 19:27; Zechariah 9:9); different from the proud (Ecclesiastes 10:9) and warlike horse (Isaiah 20:16). As a beast of burden, it was eaten only in times of famine (2 Kings 6:25). (See ASS'S HEAD).
