Commentary on Numbers 22:33

Theological / Devotional

I had slain thee. The prophet owed his life to the ass he had savagely beaten. The spirit that controlled Balaam was folly evident in his conduct.

Saved her alive. God would have preserved the ass even if He had slain Balaam. Obedience is a virtue in God’s sight. Compare the experience of another disobedient prophet’s ass (1 Kings 13:24).
