24Then the angel of Yahweh stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam`s foot against the wall: and he struck her again.
26The angel of Yahweh went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam`s anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
28Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?
29Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed you.
30The donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? was I ever wont to do so to you? and he said, No.
