When the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she wrenched unto the wall and thrust Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he smote her again. read more.
And the angel of the LORD went further and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn, either to the righthand or to the left. And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam was wroth and smote the ass with a staff. And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, "What have I done unto thee, that thou smitest me thus three times?" And Balaam said unto the Ass, "Because thou hast mocked me! I would that I had a sword in mine hand, that I might now kill thee." And the ass said unto Balaam, "Am not I thine ass which thou hast ridden upon since thou wast born unto this day?
