Numbers 22:32-34

International Children’s Bible

³² The angel of the Lord asked Balaam, “Why have you hit your donkey three times? I have stood here to stop you. What you are doing is wrong. ³³ The donkey saw me. She turned away from me three times. If she had not turned away, I would have killed you by now. But I would let her live.”

³⁴ Then Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not know you were standing in the road to stop me. If I am wrong, I will go back.”
