Strong's Lexicon onos: Donkey Original Word: ὄνος Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine Transliteration: onos Pronunciation: AW-nos Phonetic Spelling: (on'-os) Definition: a donkey, an ass. Meaning: A donkey or ass, a domesticated animal used for carrying loads and riding. Word Origin: A primary word in Greek. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2543 חֲמוֹר (chamor): Refers to a male donkey or ass. • H860 אָתוֹן (athon): Refers to a female donkey or she-ass. These Hebrew terms are used throughout the Old Testament in various contexts, including narratives involving patriarchs, judges, and kings, where donkeys serve as essential animals for transportation and agricultural work. Usage: The term ὄνος is used in the New Testament to refer to a donkey, an animal commonly associated with humility and service. It appears in contexts that highlight its role in transportation and as a symbol of peace. Context: The Greek word ὄνος (onos) appears in several New Testament passages, often in narratives that emphasize humility and fulfillment of prophecy. One of the most notable occurrences is in the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He rides on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy from Zechariah 9:9. This event is recorded in the Gospels, such as Matthew 21:2-7, where Jesus instructs His disciples to find a donkey and her colt, underscoring His role as the peaceful Messiah. The donkey, in biblical times, was a valuable asset for transportation and labor. Unlike horses, which were often associated with war and conquest, donkeys symbolized peace and servitude. This symbolism is evident in the choice of a donkey for Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, contrasting the expectations of a militant messiah with the reality of a humble and peaceful Savior. In the cultural context of the New Testament, donkeys were common in both rural and urban settings, used by people of all social standings. The presence of a donkey in biblical narratives often serves to highlight themes of humility, service, and the subversion of worldly expectations.
