An Angel Met Balaam with a Sword. Caption: "The man who is riding on the ass is named Balaam. He is a prophet, but he is not a good man. A wicked king has sent for Balaam. He wants him to curse the people called Israelites. The king thinks that if Balaam curses them God will destroy them. Balaam ought not to curse the Israelites, for they are God's people. But the king offered to give him a great deal of silver and gold if he would come to him and curse them. So Balaam saddled his ass and started to go. You see in the picture that when Balaam got part way to the king's country an angel met him with a sword in his hand. The ass saw the angel first, and he fell down for fear. But Balaam beat the ass. Then God made the ass speak; it said to Balaam, Why have you beaten me these three times? And Balaam looked up and saw the angel standing in the way. Then the angel told him he might go on to the king's country, but he must be very careful to speak only those words that the angel told him."
