Biblical Donkey

The biblical facts regarding donkey: the donkey is forbidden food; ¿the donkey and the ox have to rest on Saturday; the first donkey is not ¿subject to destruction in the Egyptian punishments.

It is either wisdom or ¿stupidity for a king to ride an animal symbolizing love of peace and ¿sexuality. How do we account for the fact that in Hebrew the ass¿s foal is ¿not a diminutive of the word ¿donkey¿, as well as the fact that the she-ass ¿signifies ¿slow pace¿ and has nothing in common with the jackass? And ¿what does Solomon¿s wild donkey signify?¿ ¿
