ગુજરાતીગણના ૨૨:૨૩
ગધેડીએ યહોવાહના દૂતને રસ્તામાં પોતાની તલવાર ખેંચીને ઊભેલો જોયો. તેથી ગધેડી પોતાનો રસ્તો બદલીને ખેતરમાં વળી ગઈ. બલામ ગધેડીને મારીને ફરી પછી રસ્તા પર લઈ આવ્યો.
हिन्दीगिनती २२:२३
और उस गदही को यहोवा का दूत हाथ में नंगी तलवार लिये हुए मार्ग में खड़ा दिखाई पड़ा; तब गदही मार्ग छोड़कर खेत में चली गई; तब बिलाम ने गदही को मारा कि वह मार्ग पर फिर आ जाए।
