Numbers 22:23

And the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road , with a drawn sword in his hand . And the donkey turned aside out of the road and went into the field . And Balaam struck the donkey , to turn her into the road .

When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.

And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand : and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field : and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
