21. Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddling his donkey, he set out with them.
22. And God was angry. And an Angel of the Lord stood in the way opposite Balaam, who was sitting on the donkey, and he had two servants with him.
23. The donkey, discerning that the Angel was standing in the way with a drawn sword, turned herself from the road and went through a field. And when Balaam beat her and intended to return her to the path,
24. the Angel stood in a narrow place between the two walls, with which the vineyards were enclosed.
25. And the donkey, seeing this, drew herself close to the wall and scraped the foot of the rider. So he beat her again.
26. And, nevertheless, the Angel passing on to a narrow place, where one would not be able to deviate either to the right or to the left, stood to meet him.
