Numbers 22:22-24

Christian Standard Bible

Balaam’s Donkey and the Angel

²² But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the angel of the Lord^(A) took his stand on the path to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him. ²³ When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing on the path with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the path and went into the field. So Balaam hit her to return her to the path. ²⁴ Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a stone wall on either side.
