Numbers 22:31-33

New Century Version

³¹ Then the Lord let Balaam see the angel of the Lord, who was standing in the road with his sword drawn. Then Balaam bowed facedown on the ground.

³² The angel of the Lord asked Balaam, “Why have you hit your donkey three times? I have stood here to stop you, because what you are doing is wrong. ³³ The donkey saw me and turned away from me three times. If she had not turned away, I would have killed you by now, but I would have let her live.”
