Numbers 22:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² But God became angry because Balaam went, so the ·angel [messenger] of the Lord stood in the road to ·stop [challenge] Balaam. Balaam was riding his donkey, and he had two servants with him. ²³ When the donkey saw the ·angel [messenger] of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, the donkey left the road and went into the field. Balaam ·hit [struck] the donkey to force her back on the road.

²⁴ Later, the ·angel [messenger] of the Lord stood on a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides.
