Numbers 22:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² But God was very angry when Balaam went. So the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey. His two servants were with him. ²³ The donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road. The angel was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. So the donkey left the road and went into a field. Balaam hit the donkey. He wanted to get it back on the road.

²⁴ Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path. The path went through the vineyards. There were walls on both sides.
