Four Egyptian donkeys seemingly exported to Canaan specifically for sacrifice.
Ick...
The ritual aspects of these donkeys' demise provides a rather different connotation to the concept of a 'donkey sanctuary.'
One can just imagine what might have been going through the donkeys' minds...
Go on long journeys...See strange, exotic, new countries...Meet new and interesting people...Get your throat cut and entrails removed...
Not much fun being a donkey (or a slave, for that matter.)
