Numbers 22:27-31
27When the donkeyH860 sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, she layH7257 downH7257 underH8478 BalaamH1109; so 1BalaamH1109 wasH2734 angryH639H2734 and struckH5221 the donkeyH860 with his staffH4731. 28Then 2the 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?” 29And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to the donkeyH860, “It is becauseH3588 you have madeH5953 aH5953 mockeryH5953 of me! IfH3863 onlyH3863 thereH3426 hadH3426 beenH3426 a swordH2719 in my handH3027! For 3I would have killedH2026 you by nowH6258!” 30But the donkeyH860 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “Am I not your donkeyH860 on whichH834 you have riddenH7392 allH4480H5750 your lifeH5750 to thisH2088 dayH3117? Have I everH5532 beenH5532 inH5532 theH5532 habitH5532 ofH5532 doingH6213 suchH3541 aH3541 thingH3541 to you?” And he saidH559, “NoH3808.”
31Then the LordH3068 openedH1540 Balaam’sH1109 eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 4the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870 with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and he bowedH6915 5all the wayH1870 to the groundH639.
