 NUMBERS 22

Balak, king of Moab, invites the prophet Balaam to come and curse the Israelites for him. Against God‘s warning, Balaam departs, but God places an angel in Balaam’s way. When his donkey swerves from the road, Balaam beats it with his stick. God allows the donkey to speak and allows Balaam to see the angel, and Balaam bows down to the ground. The angel tells Balaam: “Go with the men. But you must say nothing except what I tell you.” So Balaam goes on.
