And unless the ass had turned out of the way, giving place to me who stood against thee, I had slain thee, and she should have lived.

Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.

And the angel said to him: Why beatest thou thy ass these three times? I am come to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse, and contrary to me.

Balaam said: I have sinned, not knowing that thou didst stand against me. And now if it displease thee that I go, I will return.
