The book of Proverbs tells us to learn from the wisdom exhibited by certain animals. And with good reason. Sometimes animals act with far more sense than men (and even angels). Balaam’s donkey could see what the great seer couldn’t (Num. 22). Two wayward priests carried the ark into battle and lost it, so a couple of cows had to bring it back home. Unlike the priests, ‘they turned neither to the right nor the left’ (I Sam. 6.12).
