The answer is: False

Num 22:21 - It was a donkey, not a camel

Isn’t it fascinating how one little detail can completely change our understanding of a biblical story? If you’re picturing Balaam along a dusty desert road with a majestic camel, you might need to adjust your mental image. In fact, it’s a humble donkey that steals the spotlight in this story—a creature often overlooked, yet a wise one in its own right!

According to Numbers 22, Balaam was journeying to curse Israel when this donkey, behaving quite unusually, spotted an angel blocking their path. With three stubborn refusals to move forward, the donkey's insistence to turn back actually saved Balaam from encountering divine judgment! God has an interesting way of creating drama in the simplest of scenarios. Can you imagine the conversation between Balaam and his very persistent donkey that evidently had more spiritual insight than Balaam himself?

Also, this scenario reveals an echo in the Bible about how often humans overlook the humble and those perceived as less important. Just like God can use an ordinary donkey to convey a message, we too must remember that wisdom can come from unexpected places. Notably, Balaam didn’t initially recognize the angel—often, spiritual truths remain obscured until we become truly aware and open our eyes. So the emphasis here is on having that awareness, as our journeys can take surprising turns when we're guided by those we least expect!
