“And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.”
Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on either side — the angel repositions to a narrower space; there is no room to escape. The walls on either side trap both rider and beast. The path constraints suggest that God is forcing a confrontation; there is no way around the obstacle.
