Numbers 22:22-33

Bible Text

[22] God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Yahweh placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. [23] The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way. [24] Then the angel of Yahweh stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. [25] The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he struck her again. [26] The angel of Yahweh went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. [27] The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff. [28] Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times? [29] Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed you. [30] The donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? was I ever wont to do so to you? and he said, No. [31] Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. [32] The angel of Yahweh said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because your way is perverse before me: [33] and the donkey saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain you, and saved her alive.
