Numbers 22:21-33

21And BalaamH1109 roseH6965 up in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his ass, and went with the princesH8269 of MoabH4124. 22And God’s angerH639 was kindled because he wentH1980; and the angelH4397 of Jehovah placed himself in the wayH1870 for an adversaryH7854 against him. Now he was ridingH7392 upon his ass, and his twoH8147 servantsH5288 were with him. 23And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standingH5324 in the wayH1870, with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and the ass turnedH5186 asideH5186 out of the wayH1870, and went into the fieldH7704: and BalaamH1109 smote the ass, to turnH5186 her into the wayH1870. 24Then the angelH4397 of Jehovah stoodH5975 in a narrow path between the vineyardsH3754, a wallH1447 being on this side, and a wallH1447 on that side. 25And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah, and she thrust herself unto the wallH7023, and crushed Balaam’s footH7272 against the wallH7023: and he smote her again. 26And the angelH4397 of Jehovah went further, and stoodH5975 in a narrow placeH4725, whereH834 was no wayH1870 to turnH5186 either to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the left. 27And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah, and she layH7257 downH5221 under BalaamH1109: and Balaam’s angerH639 was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staffH4731. 28And Jehovah openedH6605 the mouthH6310 of the ass, and she saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these threeH7969 times? 29And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a swordH2719 in my handH3027, for nowH6258 I had killedH2026 thee. 30And the ass saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast riddenH7392 all thy life long unto this dayH3117? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he saidH559, Nay.

31Then Jehovah opened the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standingH5324 in the wayH1870, with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and he bowedH7812 his head, and fell on his faceH639. 32And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these threeH7969 times? behold, I am comeH3318 forthH3318 for an adversaryH7854, because thy wayH1870 is perverse before me: 33and the ass sawH7200 me, and turnedH5186 asideH5186 before me these threeH7969 times: unless she had turnedH5186 asideH5186 from me, surely nowH6258 I had even slainH2026 thee, and saved her aliveH2421.
