Numbers 22:25-27

The Voice

²⁵ Spooked by the Eternal’s messenger, the donkey pressed herself against one of the walls, trapping Balaam’s foot. Balaam hit her again. ²⁶ The Eternal’s messenger got ahead of them again and faced them in a narrow spot where they had no way to avoid him. ²⁷ This time, the donkey, seeing the Eternal’s messenger, just lay down, Balaam still sitting on top. Balaam was furious, and he beat the beast with a rod.
