Numbers 22:32-34

32And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smittenH5221 thine donkeyH860 these threeH7969 timesH7272? behold, I went outH3318 to withstandH7854 thee, because thy wayH1870 is perverseH3399 before me:1

33And the donkeyH860 sawH7200 me, and turnedH5186 from meH6440 these threeH7969 timesH7272: unlessH194 she had turnedH5186 from meH6440, surely now also I had slainH2026 thee, and saved her aliveH2421.

34And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068, I have sinnedH2398; for I knewH3045 not that thou stoodestH5324 in the wayH1870 againstH7125 me: now therefore, if it displease theeH5869 H7489, I will get me back againH7725.2
