Numbers 22:21-23

Modern English Version

Balaam, the Donkey, and the Angel

²¹ Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab. ²² The anger of God was inflamed because he went, and the angel^[a] of the Lord stood in the way as 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 the Lord standing in the way, and His sword was drawn in His hand, so the donkey turned out of the way and went into the field. Balaam struck the donkey to turn her onto the road.
