Commentary on Numbers 22:31
Balaam admits to the donkey 'And he said, Nay' (acknowledging the animal's consistent faithfulness). Then 'the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam' to see the angel with drawn sword. The phrase 'opened the eyes' indicates God's sovereign control over spiritual perception—Balaam needed divine revelation to see what his donkey naturally perceived. This humbling moment should have permanently reoriented Balaam's priorities.
