*
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam Bil #
am #,
and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way ,
and his sword drawn in his hand :
and he bowed down his head ,
and fell flat on his face .
*
And the angel of the LORD said unto him ,
Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times ?
behold ,
I went out to withstand thee ,
because thy way is perverse before me :
*
And the ass saw me ,
and turned from me these three times :
unless she had turned from me ,
surely now also I had slain thee ,
and saved her alive .
*
And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD ,
I have sinned ;
for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me :
now therefore ,
if it displease thee ra #,
I will get me back again .
*
And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam Bil #
am #,
Go with the men :
but only the word that I shall speak unto thee ,
that thou shalt speak .
So Balaam went with the princes of Balak .
