431. וַיַּעֲמֹד מַלְאַךְ ה’ בְּמִשְׁעוֹל הַכְּרָמִים וְגוֹ’. מַה כָּתוּב לְמַעְלָה? בַּהַתְחָלָה כָּתוּב וַתֵּט הָאָתוֹן מִן הַדֶּרֶךְ וַתֵּלֵךְ בַּשָּׂדֶה. וַתֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ יָשָׁר, מִצַּד הַשָּׂדֶה, (הִתְעוֹרְרָה) וְנָטְתָה מִמַּה שֶּׁהָיָה בָּהּ. וַיַּךְ בִּלְעָם אֶת הָאָתוֹן לְהַטֹּתָהּ הַדָּרֶךְ, לְהַסְטוֹתָהּ מֵאוֹתוֹ דֶּרֶךְ שֶׁל הַשָּׂדֶה. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בֵּין הַמַּלְאָךְ וּבֵין בִּלְעָם הָיְתָה הָאָתוֹן בִּמְצוּקָה. אַחַר כָּךְ רָאָה בִּלְעָם שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה יָכוֹל, אָז וַיַּךְ אֶת הָאָתוֹן בַּמַּקֵּל, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּתְבָּאֵר.
432. וַיַּעֲמֹד מַלְאַךְ ה’ וְגוֹ’. אָמַר רַבִּי אַבָּא, כַּמָּה יֵשׁ לָנוּ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל בְּדִבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה. פְּסוּקִים אֵלּוּ רְמוּזִים בְּחָכְמָה עֶלְיוֹנָה. וְכִי לְחִנָּם יָצָא מַלְאָךְ זֶה לְהֵרָאוֹת לְאָתוֹן אַחַת, אוֹ לַעֲמֹד מוּלָהּ בֵּין הַכְּרָמִים פַּעַם כָּאן וּפַעַם כָּאן? אֶלָּא הַכֹּל סוֹד עֶלְיוֹן הוּא, וְהַכֹּל רָצָה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא כְּדֵי לְהָגֵן עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יִשְׁלְטוּ בָהֶם מִינִים רָעִים, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהֵם חֶלְקוֹ שֶׁל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא.

#431
Numbers 22:24
“וַיַּעֲמֹד מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה בְּמִשְׁעוֹל הַכְּרָמִים גָּדֵר מִזֶּה וְגָדֵר מִזֶּה.”
“Then the Angel of YHVH stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side.”
At first, it is written, “and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field”, which means that the donkey turned away from the witchcraft loaded on her by Balaam and then went to the “field,” which is the aspect of Malchut of holiness. Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back on his path of sorcery.
Rabbi Yitzchak said that between the angel and Balaam, the donkey was in trouble. When Balaam saw that he could not bring her back to his path, he struck her with a stick, which is a harsh judgment, as previously explained.

#432
Rabbi Abba said how much we have to look at the words of the Torah, these verses are implied in the supreme wisdom (Chokmah). The angel did not go out to show himself to one donkey or stand among vineyards against it on two sides, but everything is a supreme secret. The Holy One, Blessed be He, wanted to protect Israel, so no evil force could rule over them because they are part of him.
