Kommentar zu Zechariah 9:9
גִּילִ֨י מְאֹ֜ד בַּת־צִיּ֗וֹן הָרִ֙יעִי֙ בַּ֣ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם הִנֵּ֤ה מַלְכֵּךְ֙ יָ֣בוֹא לָ֔ךְ צַדִּ֥יק וְנוֹשָׁ֖ע ה֑וּא עָנִי֙ וְרֹכֵ֣ב עַל־חֲמ֔וֹר וְעַל־עַ֖יִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנֽוֹת׃
Freue dich sehr, Tochter Zion, schreie, Tochter Jerusalem! Siehe, dein König kommt zu dir. Er ist triumphierend und siegreich. Niedrig und reitet auf einem Esel, sogar auf einem Fohlen, dem Fohlen eines Esels.
Rashi on Zechariah
