Numbers 22:28-31

28And 1the LordH3068 openedH6605 the mouthH6310 of the donkeyH860, and she saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “WhatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you, that you have struckH5221 me theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH7272?” 29Then BalaamH1109 saidH559 to the donkeyH860, “BecauseH3588 you have madeH5953 a mockeryH5953 of me! IfH3863 thereH3426 hadH1426 beenH3426 a swordH2719 in my handH3027, 2I would have killedH2026 you by nowH6258.” 30The donkeyH860 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “Am I not your donkeyH860 on whichH834 you have riddenH7392 allH4480H5750 your lifeH5750 to thisH2088 dayH3117? Have I everH5532 been accustomedH5532 to doH6213 soH3541 to you?” And he saidH559, “NoH3808.”

31Then the LordH3068 openedH1540 the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 3the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870 with his drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027; and he bowedH6915 4all the wayH1870 to the groundH639.
