DONKEY SPEAKS TO BALAAM
Balaam was a prophet in a
country called Midian. A prophet is a person through whom God speaks. The
Israelites were on a long journey from Egypt to Canaan. They travelled and came
near a place called Moab. Balak, the King of Moab got scared when he saw the
Israelites near his country and thought of a plan to defeat them.
Balak invited Balaam, the prophet
to curse the Israelites. Balak thought that Balaam’s curse would weaken the
Israelites. Balak offered to give Balaam lot of money. Balaam was tempted by
the offer and he went along with Balak’s men, but God was not happy. God did
not want anyone to curse or say bad things about the Israelites.
On the way, the Angel of God came against Balaam. Balaam’s donkey saw the angel and turned off the road into a field.
Balaam got angry and beat the donkey. The donkey spoke to Balaam and
said “What have I done to you, that you have
struck me these three times?”
God opened Balaam’s eyes. He saw the
angel standing with a drawn sword. Balaam realized his mistake and offered to
go back. Then the Angel of the Lord told Balaam to go with the men but to speak
only the word that He (God) speaks to him.
