Hebrew translation:

411. וּבֹא וּרְאֵה, שֶׁעַד עַכְשָׁו לֹא כָתוּב ה’, וְלֹא נִרְאָה בִקְסָמָיו וּבִכְשָׁפָיו, וַהֲרֵי פֵּרְשׁוּהָ. וְעַכְשָׁו, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִתְקִין אֶת אֲתוֹנוֹ וְזֵרְזָהּ בְּתִקּוּנֵי כְשָׁפָיו בְּצַד הַדִּין לְקַלֵּל אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, הִקְדִּים הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֶת מַלְאָךְ הָרַחֲמִים לְמוּלוֹ, וּבְשֵׁם הָרַחֲמִים, כְּדֵי לִסְתֹּר חָכְמָתוֹ וּלְהַטּוֹת אֶת אֲתוֹנוֹ מֵאוֹתוֹ הַדֶּרֶךְ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב וַתֵּט הָאָתוֹן מִן הַדֶּרֶךְ. דַּוְקָא מִן הַדֶּרֶךְ. וְעַל זֶה לֹא כָתוּב וַיִּתְיַצֵּב מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים, וַיַּעֲמֹד מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים, אֶלָּא מַלְאַךְ ה’, שֶׁל רַחֲמִים.
412. אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, רָשָׁע, אַתָּה הִטְעַנְתָּ אֶת אֲתוֹנְךָ בִּכְשָׁפֶיךָ בְּכַמָּה צִדְדֵי דִין מוּל בָּנַי – אֲנִי אַעֲבִיר אֶת הַמִּטְעָן שֶׁלָּךָ וְיֵהָפֵךְ מִדֶּרֶךְ זֶה. מִיָּד הִקְדִּים מַלְאָךְ רַחֲמִים לְשָׂטָן לוֹ. דַּוְקָא לוֹ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּתְבָּאֵר.
413. וַתֵּרֶא הָאָתוֹן אֶת מַלְאַךְ ה’ וְגוֹ’. אָמַר רַבִּי יִצְחָק, וְכִי לָמָּה רָאֲתָה הִיא, וּבִלְעָם שֶׁהָיָה חָכָם כָּל כָּךְ לֹא רָאָה? אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם שֶׁאוֹתוֹ רָשָׁע יִסְתַּכֵּל בְּמַרְאֵה קֹדֶשׁ. אָמַר לוֹ, אִם כָּךְ, הֲרֵי כָּתוּב נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָיִם! אָמַר לוֹ, לֹא שָׁמַעְתִּי בָזֶה דָּבָר, וְלֹא אֹמַר. אָמַר לוֹ, אֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי. כְּשֶׁהָיָה צָרִיךְ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל, הָיָה נוֹפֵל וְרוֹאֶה, וְכָעֵת לֹא הִצְטָרֵךְ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל.

Zohar Balak
Continued from previous DZ
#411
YHVH, the name of Mercy, was not mentioned until Balaam set his magic to work. After he prepared his female donkey with sorcery from the other side with judgment to curse Israel, the Holy One, Blessed be He, sent the angel of mercy “מלאך יהוה” “the angel of YHVH” against. With the YHVH name, he neutralized Balaam’s plan and diverted his female donkey from that path, as it is written;
Numbers 22:23
“וַתֵּרֶא הָאָתוֹן אֶת מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה נִצָּב בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְחַרְבּוֹ שְׁלוּפָה בְּיָדוֹ וַתֵּט הָאָתוֹן מִן הַדֶּרֶךְ וַתֵּלֶךְ בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיַּךְ בִּלְעָם אֶת הָאָתוֹן לְהַטֹּתָהּ הַדָּרֶךְ.”
“Now the donkey saw the Angel of YHVH standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.”
It doesn’t say “the angel of God (ELHYM)” but “the Angel of the Lord (YHVH)” that represents Mercy.

#412
The Holy One Blessed be He said, evil, you have loaded your donkey with your witchcraft from several sides of judgments against my son; I will remove your magic and turn away from this path. Then immediately, the angel of Mercy came, as we explained above.

#413
Rabbi Yitzchak said, why did the donkey see the angel of YHVH, and Balaam, who was very wise, could not see it? Rabbi Yossi said this wicked would not see a holy sight. It is written;
Numbers 24:4
“נְאֻם שֹׁמֵעַ אִמְרֵי אֵל אֲשֶׁר מַחֲזֵה שַׁדַּי יֶחֱזֶה נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָיִם.”
“The utterance of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Who falls down, with eyes wide open:”
He explains that when Balaam needed to see, he would fall down first. In the case of the angels of YHVH, Balaam did not need to look, and that is why he did not see.

Friday would be a good day to make a ** Donation, especially if you didn’t donate in the past week. Giving on Friday, which is an aspect of Yessod, expands the vessel for the Light and honor of Shabbat.
