thee. |

said°°
unto°
Balaam,°
[Am] not°
I°
thine ass,°
upon°
which°

this°
day?°

so°°°
unto thee? And he said,°°

22:32
And the angel°
of the LORD°
said°°
unto°
him, Wherefore°°
hast thou smitten°°°
thine ass°
these°
three°
times?°
behold,°
I°
went out°°
to withstand°
thee, because°
[thy] way°
is perverse°°
before°
me: |
|
22:33
and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive. |

22:33
And the ass°
saw°°
me, and turned°°
from°
me°
these°
three°
times:°

me,°
surely°
now°
also°
I had slain°°
thee, and saved her alive.°°° |
|
22:34
And Balaam said unto the angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. |

22:34
And Balaam°
said°°
unto°
the angel°
of the LORD,°
I have sinned;°°
for°
I knew°°
not°
that°
thou°
stoodest°°
in the way°
against°°
me: now°
therefore, if°
it displease°°
thee,°°°
I will get me back again.°° |
