Numbers 22:18

16 And they came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me;

17 for I will certainly ^ahonor you greatly, and I will do whatever you say to me. ^bTherefore please come, curse this people for me.’ ”

18 Then Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, ^a“Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, ^bI could not go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.

19 Now therefore, please, you also ^astay here tonight, that I may know what more the Lord will say to me.”

20 ^aAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men come to call you, rise and go with them; but ^bonly the word which I speak to you—that you shall do.”

21 So Balaam rose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.

Balaam, the Donkey, and the Angel

22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, ^aand the Angel of the Lord took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
