| − | | | + | |The word I translated "foal" is πῶλος, which means "foal, filly, colt - a young donkey or horse." Even though "foal" is somewhat archaic, I'm not sure that modern audiences recognize that a colt is a young horse or donkey. One possibility is to simply state "young donkey" in verses 14 and 15, except that the Greek actually uses different words. In 14, the word literally means "little donkey," while verse 15 specifically says, "a donkey's foal/colt." |
