The article deals with one of the problematic issues found in the Matthean entry narrative (21:1-11), namely identifying the appropriate referent for the second pronoun αὐτῶν in Mt 21:7. First, a few textual emendations to the original Greek text are discussed, since the solution to the above problem has sometimes been sought in the discovery of a truly original text, free of this interpretative difficulty. Second, the grammatical and rhetorical explanations of the issue are elucidated. Third, the article presents and evaluates arguments for identifying the proper referent of αὐτῶν, whether in the vestments or in the two animals. In the author’s opinion, the most convincing solution to the problem lies in identifying the referent of the ambiguous pronoun as the two animals.

The article deals with one of the problematic issues found in the Matthean entry narrative (21:1-11), namely the reason(s) for introducing two animals into the account. The article provides an extensive discussion of the possible reasons for the biblical authors configuring the narrative in this way, presenting various allegorical, redactional, naturalistic, and intertextual interpretations. The article proposes that the most likely reason for introducing two animals into the narrative is simply to accurately reflect a real historical event – which in fact involved two donkeys. It is also argued that Matthew, as a theologian, was equally interested in demonstrating the fulfillment of Zec 9:9. Further, his narrative was also imbued with allusions to Mosaic as well as Davidic and Solomonic typologies.
