Strong's Lexicon onarion: young donkey, colt Original Word: ὀνάριον Word Origin: Diminutive form of ὄνος (onos), meaning "donkey" or "ass." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 5895 (עַיִר, ayir): Refers to a young donkey or colt, used in similar contexts in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "onarion" refers to a young donkey or colt. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the animal that Jesus rode into Jerusalem during His triumphal entry, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9. This event is significant in the Christian tradition as it marks the beginning of Holy Week, leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, donkeys were common beasts of burden and symbols of service, peace, and humility. Unlike horses, which were associated with war and power, donkeys were seen as humble and lowly animals. The use of a young donkey by Jesus during His entry into Jerusalem was a deliberate act to convey His role as the peaceful Messiah, contrasting with the expectations of a militant deliverer.
