Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) Ever since I was thine.--Literally, ever since thou livedst,--i.e., all thy life long. The Targums of Jonathan and of Jerusalem paraphrase thus--"upon which thou hast ridden from thy youth unto this day." "An Arabic writer," says Dr. Gill, in his Commentary, in loc., "makes mention of an ass that the owner rode on forty years."Unto this day.--The use of these words in this place serves to throw light upon such passages as Deuteronomy 3:14, "called them after his own name . . . unto this day," and shows that they do not necessarily denote that the events to which reference is made were separated by any very long interval.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut the donkeyהָאָת֜וֹן (hā·’ā·ṯō·wn)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 860: A female donkeysaidוַתֹּ֨אמֶר (wat·tō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 559: To utter, sayto Balaam,בִּלְעָ֗ם (bil·‘ām)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1109: Balaam -- a prophet“Am Iאָנֹכִ֨י (’ā·nō·ḵî)Pronoun - first person common singularStrong's 595: Inotהֲלוֹא֩ (hă·lō·w)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nothe donkeyאֲתֹֽנְךָ֜ (’ă·ṯō·nə·ḵā)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 860: A female donkeyyou have riddenרָכַ֣בְתָּ (rā·ḵaḇ·tā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7392: To ride, to place upon, to despatchall your lifeמֵעֽוֹדְךָ֙ (mê·‘ō·wḏ·ḵā)Preposition-m | Adverb | second person masculine singularStrong's 5750: Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, moreuntil today?עַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whileHave I ever treatedלַעֲשׂ֥וֹת (la·‘ă·śō·wṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 6213: To do, makeyouלְךָ֖ (lə·ḵā)Preposition | second person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew this wayכֹּ֑ה (kōh)AdverbStrong's 3541: Like this, thus, here, nowbefore?”הַֽהַסְכֵּ֣ן (ha·has·kên)Verb - Hifil - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 5532: To be familiar with, to minister to, be serviceable to, be customary“No,”לֹֽא׃ (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nohe replied.וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, sayJump to PreviousAccustomed Always Ass Balaam Donkey Habit Life Rid Ridden Wont
