NUMBERS 22

BALAAM’S TALKING DONKEY

Balak, the king of Moab, sees that Israel is powerful and headed towards Moab. He hires a prophet named Balaam to curse the Israelites for him. 

God intervenes and tells Balaam not to curse the Israelites, calling them blessed. Balaam’s donkey sees an angel and God opens the mouth of the donkey so that he is able to speak to Balaam! Balaam is instructed by the angel to only speak the words that God tells him.
