Numbers 22:22-24

Good News Translation

Balaam and His Donkey

²² God was angry that Balaam was going, and as Balaam was riding along on his donkey, accompanied by his two servants, the angel of the Lord stood in the road to bar his way. ²³ When the donkey saw the angel standing there holding a sword, it left the road and turned into the fields. Balaam beat the donkey and brought it back onto the road. ²⁴ Then the angel stood where the road narrowed between two vineyards and had a stone wall on each side.
