Description
21 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab. 22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat her to get her back on the road.
24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again.
26 Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff. 28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"
29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now."
30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?"
"No," he said.
31 Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
32 The angel of the LORD asked him, "Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. [c] 33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared her."
34 Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back."
35 The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

Something a little different. This is a story from the Bible. My pastor asked if I could make some renders for Sunday School. For thos that asked I will post a picture of my very messy computer desk next. No violence flagged cause Balaam has not het the donkey yet.

You did an excellent job, with lighting, posing and action. My only nit is I believe Balaam would have had longer hair...but that is just me.

...23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand,... HIS HAND... Rick, that looks like a very fine Woman Angel to me - lol.... I just thought I'd help ya... you might want to put a beard on her and take her chest away - or... change His to Her ...Don't want to get the bibles version all mixed up now, like that has never happened before = LOL I might burn for this = lol - but, I have mixed emotions on the Bible - Definately Man's best book and oldest, but it's been translated and rewriten and.... well, if you take 100 people, tell them a story, by the time it gets to the last person, the story is not the same.... I believe God is my conscience and that's all I need - I believe God talks to me.... and yeah, the Devil too, but I can get him to shut up by calling him a poo poo head = LOL

I know the story well, and you have made an excellent work for it, wish angels were female.....but then again.... an angel with PMS.....
