Tell ye the daughter of Sion, &c. Zechariah 9:9. The prophet is predicting the triumph of Israel and the fall of the neighbouring nations. The prophecy contains three distinct Hebrew words for an "ass." "Sitting upon an ass (chamâr, from a root meaning red) and a colt (air, -a young male ass") the foal (lit. -the son") of an ass (athôn= -a she-ass," from a root meaning -slow")."

meek See ch. Matthew 5:5.
