And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
And if anyone questions you about it, just tell them 'The Lord needs them,' and they'll let you take them right away.
Sometimes all you need to say is that God has a plan.

At that time, using a donkey symbolized peace and humility, contrasting with the warlike imagery of conquerors on horses.
