Old Testament · Numbers 22:21–35

Balaam and His Donkey

Balaam’s donkey turned aside, pressed against a wall, and finally lay down when she saw the LORD’s angel blocking the way. Balaam did not initially see the danger. The LORD enabled the donkey to speak, and later opened Balaam’s eyes. This printable focuses on Numbers 22:21–35. Read the surrounding passage with children to place the scene in the wider account.
