“And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.”
Then the angel of the LORD went ahead and stood in yet another place, in a narrow space where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left — the angel moves again, this time to an absolutely impassable location. There is no escape route; Balaam and the donkey are trapped. The narrowing space and the multiplied confrontations suggest divine determination to make the point; God will not be ignored or evaded.
