And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

Commentary
Trusted original commentary from respected historical Bible scholars and theologians.
Baptist theologian, 1697–1771
Gill's Exposition
And the ass said unto Balaam,.... Made a reply to him, as if it understood what he said, and had the faculty of reasoning and discoursing, as well as of speaking, which is very amazing:
am not I…
We have here an account of the opposition God gave to Balaam in his journey towards Moab; probably the princes had gone before, or gone some other way, and Balaam had pointed out where he would meet…
Jehovah was angry with Balaam for going, and His -Angel" hindered him on the way.
