In week 9 of our march through In The Wilderness Lee Woodmansee dissects Numbers 22-24. The most famous portion of this passage is the episode of Balaam's donkey speaking to him, but there is far more to this story than that episode. Lee takes some time to address each of the major portions of this story by asking some basic questions.

Where are we in the narrative?

Why was God angry with Balaam for going to Balak after he already gave him permission to go?

What does the talking donkey say to us today?

What exactly did God give to Balaam to say?

What does this have to do with us?
