Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 35. - Go with the men. It may be asked to what purpose the angel appeared, if Balaam was to proceed just the same. The answer is that the angel was not a warning, but a destroying, angel, a visible embodiment of the anger of God which burnt against Beldam for his perversity. The angel would have slain Balaam, as the lion slew the disobedient prophet, but that God in his mercy permitted the fidelity and wisdom of the ass to save her master from the immediate consequences of his folly. If Balaam had had a mind capable of instruction, he would indeed have gone on as he was bidden, but in a very different spirit and with very different designs.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(35) Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee . . . --The command contained in Numbers 22:20 is here repeated, and the unrighteous prophet is punished by being constrained to reap the fruit of his own perversity. It should be observed that here, as elsewhere, the angel who speaks to Balaam identifies himself with Him who sent him: "The word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak." (Comp. Numbers 22:20, where God Himself is represented as delivering to Balaam the same injunction.)
