Now he was riding{H7392}{(H8802)} upon his ass{H860}, and his two{H8147} servants{H5288} were with him. 23 And the ass{H860} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} standing{H5324}{(H8737)} in the way{H1870}, and his sword{H2719} drawn{H8025}{(H8803)} in his hand{H3027}: and the ass{H860} turned aside{H5186}{(H8799)} out of the way{H1870}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} into the field{H7704}: and Balaam{H1109} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the ass{H860}, to turn{H5186}{(H8687)} her into the way{H1870}. 24 But the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in a path{H4934} of the vineyards{H3754}, a wall{H1447} being on this side, and a wall{H1447} on that side. 25 And when the ass{H860} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}, she thrust{H3905}{(H8735)} herself unto the wall{H7023}, and crushed{H3905}{(H8799)} Balaam's{H1109} foot{H7272} against the wall{H7023}: and he smote{H5221}{(H8687)} her again{H3254}{(H8686)}. 26 And the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068} went{H5674}{(H8800)} further{H3254}{(H8686)}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in a narrow{H6862} place{H4725}, where was no way{H1870} to turn{H5186}{(H8800)} either to the right hand{H3225} or to the left{H8040}. 27 And when the ass{H860} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the angel{H4397} of the LORD{H3068}, she fell down{H7257}{(H8799)} under Balaam{H1109}: and Balaam's{H1109} anger{H639} was kindled{H2734}{(H8799)}, and he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the ass{H860} with a staff{H4731}. 28 And the LORD{H3068} opened{H6605}{(H8799)} the mouth{H6310} of the ass{H860}, and she said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109}, What have I done{H6213}{(H8804)} unto thee, that thou hast smitten{H5221}{(H8689)} me these three{H7969} times{H7272}? 29 And Balaam{H1109} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the ass{H860}, Because thou hast mocked{H5953}{(H8694)} me: I would{H3863} there were{H3426} a sword{H2719} in mine hand{H3027}, for now would I kill{H2026}{(H8804)} thee. 30 And the ass{H860} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Balaam{H1109}, Am not I thine ass{H860}, upon which thou hast ridden{H7392}{(H8804)} ever since I was thine unto this day{H3117}? was I ever{H5532}{(H8687)} wont{H5532}{(H8689)} to do so{H6213}{(H8800)} unto thee?
