rsv Numbers:22:28-35
rsv@Numbers:22:28 @ Then the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"
rsv@Numbers:22:29 @ And Balaam said to the ass, "Because you have made sport of me. I wish I had a sword in my hand, for then I would kill you."
rsv@Numbers:22:30 @ And the ass said to Balaam, "Am I not your ass, upon which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."
rsv@Numbers:22:31 @ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
rsv@Numbers:22:32 @ And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your ass these three times? Behold, I have come forth to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me;
rsv@Numbers:22:33 @ and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely just now I would have slain you and let her live."
rsv@Numbers:22:34 @ Then Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned, for I did not know that thou didst stand in the road against me. Now therefore, if it is evil in thy sight, I will go back again."
rsv@Numbers:22:35 @ And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word which I bid you, that shall you speak." So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.
