Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:

Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak’s dignitaries, “Go back to your own country, for GOD will not let me go with you.”

Balaam replied to Balak’s officials, “Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, big or little, contrary to the command of the ETERNAL my God.

When he arose in the morning, Balaam saddled his jenny and departed with the Moabite dignitaries.

when the jenny caught sight of the angel of GOD standing in the way, with his drawn sword in his hand. The jenny swerved from the road and went into the fields; and Balaam beat the jenny to turn her back onto the road.

When the jenny now saw the angel of GOD, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was furious and beat the jenny with his stick.

Balaam said to the jenny, “You have made a mockery of me! If I had a sword with me, I’d kill you.”

Balaam said to the angel of GOD, “I erred because I did not know that you were standing in my way. If you still disapprove, I will turn back.”

But the angel of GOD said to Balaam, “Go with the men. But you must say nothing except what I tell you.” So Balaam went on with Balak’s dignitaries.

But Balaam said to Balak, “And now that I have come to you, have I the power to speak freely? I can utter only the word that God puts into my mouth.”
