Young Blonde Girl Outside With A Donkey

Religion and myth
• There are 68 references to a donkey ("hamor" or "chamor" חמור) in the Old Testament, starting with a gift of some to Abraham by the Pharaoh in Genesis 12:16. A donkey features in the binding of Isaac (Genesis 22:3). Donkeys are again mentioned as a measure of wealth in the story of Jacob's life in Genesis 30:43.
• In Genesis the King of Shechem (the modern Nablus), killed by Jacob's sons, is called "Hamor" - showing that at the time this animal was held in high enough esteem that it was no disrespect for royalty to use its name as their first name. (Dinah, Shechem, Animal names as first names in Hebrew)
