Numbers 22:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Balaam’s Donkey and the Angel

²² But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the Angel of the Lord 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.
