Here is more violence still. Some conceive the singular is here put for the plural; The Ass for the Asses of the fatherless; 1that is, all the Asses that he had, they left not one, but swept all away. But if we take the word strictly for one single Ass, then it aggravates the sin, They drive away the Ass of the fatherless: Though he hath but one, they drive that away; this heightens the oppression, as (2 Sam. 12.3.) in the parable which Nathan put to David to convince him of his sin; He tells him of a rich man that had exceeding many flocks and herds, but the poor man had nothing save one little Ewe-lamb, which he had bought, and nourished up, and it grew up together with him, and with his children, it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter: Now, when the traveller came to the rich man, he spared to take of his own flock, and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man, but took the poor mans lamb, &c. So here, they drive away the Ass of the fatherless; though he hath but one, they drive that away.
