Commentary on Numbers 22:32
The angel rebuked Balaam: 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me.' God's messenger identified Balaam's path as 'perverse' (Hebrew 'yarat', headlong, reckless), indicating his journey opposed God's will despite having divine permission (v.20). This paradox shows that God sometimes permits paths He doesn't prefer, testing whether we'll pursue technical permission or His true pleasure.
