Numbers 22:22-35

And God's
<0430>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
because he went
<01980> (8802)_:
and the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<03320> (8691)
in the way
<01870>
for an adversary
<07854>
against him. Now he was riding
<07392> (8802)
upon his ass
<0860>_,
and his two
<08147>
servants
<05288>
[were] with him.
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and the ass
<0860>
turned aside
<05186> (8799)
out of the way
<01870>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_:
and Balaam
<01109>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>_,
to turn
<05186> (8687)
her into the way
<01870>_.
But the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in a path
<04934>
of the vineyards
<03754>_,
a wall
<01447>
[being] on this side, and a wall
<01447>
on that side.
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she thrust
<03905> (8735)
herself unto the wall
<07023>_,
and crushed
<03905> (8799)
Balaam's
<01109>
foot
<07272>
against the wall
<07023>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8687)
her again
<03254> (8686)_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
went
<05674> (8800)
further
<03254> (8686)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in a narrow
<06862>
place
<04725>_,
where [was] no way
<01870>
to turn
<05186> (8800)
either to the right hand
<03225>
or to the left
<08040>_.
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she fell down
<07257> (8799)
under Balaam
<01109>_:
and Balaam's
<01109>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>
with a staff
<04731>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06605> (8799)
the mouth
<06310>
of the ass
<0860>_,
and she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
What have I done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee, that thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)
me these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the ass
<0860>_,
Because thou hast mocked
<05953> (8694)
me: I would
<03863>
there were
<03426>
a sword
<02719>
in mine hand
<03027>_,
for now would I kill
<02026> (8804)
thee.
And the ass
<0860>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
[Am] not I thine ass
<0860>_,
upon which thou hast ridden
<07392> (8804)
ever since [I was] thine unto this day
<03117>_?
was I ever
<05532> (8687)
wont
<05532> (8689)
to do so
<06213> (8800)
unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay. {upon...: Heb. who hast ridden upon me} {ever since...: or, ever since thou wast, etc}
Then the LORD
<03068>
opened
<01540> (8762)
the eyes
<05869>
of Balaam
<01109>_,
and he saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and he bowed down
<06915> (8799)
his head, and fell flat
<07812> (8691)
on his face
<0639>_.
{fell...: or, bowed himself}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
<05221> (8689)
thine ass
<0860>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
behold, I went out
<03318> (8804)
to withstand
<07854>
thee, because [thy] way
<01870>
is perverse
<03399> (8804)
before me: {to...: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee}
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
me, and turned
<05186> (8799)
from me
<06440>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_:
unless
<0194>
she had turned
<05186> (8804)
from me
<06440>_,
surely now also I had slain
<02026> (8804)
thee, and saved her alive
<02421> (8689)_.
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;
for I knew
<03045> (8804)
not that thou stoodest
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>
against
<07125> (8800)
me: now therefore, if it displease thee
<07489> (8804) <05869>_,
I will get me back again
<07725> (8799)_.
{displease...: Heb. be evil in thine eyes}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
with the men
<0582>_:
but only
<0657>
the word
<01697>
that I shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto thee, that thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.
So Balaam
<01109>
went
<03212> (8799)
with the princes
<08269>
of Balak
<01111>_.
