25. And when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pushed against the wall and pressed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he struck her again.

26. Then the angel of the Lord went ahead and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.

27. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam. And Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
