Commentary on Numbers 22:28
God miraculously 'opened the mouth of the ass' to speak to Balaam, asking 'What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?' This unprecedented miracle (2 Peter 2:16 calls it unique) revealed God's power over creation and rebuked Balaam's stubborn persistence in wrong direction. That a dumb beast saw God's angel while the prophet remained blind showed spiritual blindness can afflict even those who hear from God.
