− | The donkey of Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair is used a number of times as an example of a righteous animal. It would refuse to eat any oats that did not have the masser first removed from them.

Rabbi Pinchas Ben Yair was traveling to redeem a captive. He reached the Giniy River along with another Jew and an Arab merchant. When Rabbi Pinchas commanded the river to split, it refused on the basis that it constantly performs the will of its Creator who told it to flow, while Rabbi Pinchas might or might not be successful in caring out the Mitzva of redeeming the captive. After threatening to decree permanent dryness upon the river, it split for Rabbi Pinchos. He then requested the river split for the Jew who was carrying wheat for the Mitzva of making Matzot, causing it to split a second time. He then requested the it split again for the Arab so it will not look like Jews abandon their traveling companions, the river proceeded to split a third time. | Rabbi Pinchas Ben Yair was traveling to redeem a captive.
