1The Hebrew text which we render the wild Ass, is but one word; and from thence some derive the Latin word which signifies wild beasts in general; conceiving also that the Hebrew word comes from a root signifying to multiply and increase, because wild beasts (usually) multiply and increase more than tame. Thus they understand this former part of the verse, not as we of that special sort of wild beasts the wild Ass, but in common of all sorts of wild beasts; and then (say they) in the latter part of the verse, the wild Ass is especially spoken of under another term; for though we have he wild Ass, according to our translation,2 in both parts of the Text, yet under different appellations, by which some understand two so•ts of wild Asses, but others take the first only in general for wild beasts of any sort, and the latter for this particular sort of wild beasts the wild Ass. But I ⟨p. 327⟩conceive, we need not be so curious, for though we take both the former and the latter word for the same, the sense is clear, and the same: Who hath sent out the wild Ass free?
