rsv@Numbers:22:24 @ Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on either side.
rsv@Numbers:22:25 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she pushed against the wall, and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall; so he struck her again.
rsv@Numbers:22:26 @ 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.
rsv@Numbers:22:27 @ When the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with his staff.
