## Numbers 22:28 in Context (Verses 25–31 KJV)
 
 [25 ](/kjv/numbers/22/25) And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/numbers/22/26) And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where *was* no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/numbers/22/27) And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/numbers/22/28) And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
 
 [29 ](/kjv/numbers/22/29) 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.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/numbers/22/30) And the ass said unto Balaam, *Am* not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since *I was* thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.**
 
 [31 ](/kjv/numbers/22/31) Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.*
