Numbers 22:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ When Balaam's donkey saw the angel standing there with a sword, it walked off the road and into an open field. Balaam had to beat the donkey to get it back on the road.

²⁴ Then the angel stood between two vineyards, in a narrow path with a stone wall on each side. ²⁵ When the donkey saw the angel, it walked so close to one of the walls that Balaam's foot scraped against the wall. Balaam beat the donkey again.
