And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 29 is found in chapter 22 of Numbers. The angel of God stands in Balaam’s path, and the donkey perceives the danger before its master. After God opens Balaam’s eyes, he understands the heavenly opposition. The scene functions with narrative irony: the prophet who intends to speak for God needs God to allow him to see and understand. The experience prepares Balaam to submit his words to the divine command.
