The donkey saw the LORD’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned out of the path, and went into the field.
Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the path.
Then the LORD’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall.
He struck her again.
