second year delegation came and bilam again inquired of God God can I please go Hashem said okay fine go but it's not going to be good for you you're going to be embarrassed and against your will you will have to bless the Jewish people verse 21 bilam arose in the morning and settled his she donkey a female donkey settled his she donkey a female donkey and went with the officers of mob and here the Torah reveals to us that bilam was not riding a horse even though he was such a great man he was writing a donkey and not even a male donkey who would be more resilient he chose a female donkey and later the officers of balak asked him where's your horse we thought you're such a an amazing honorable person should be riding a chariot with horses chariot with horses and Dylan was embarrassed to admit that he doesn't have a horse he only has a female donkey and he said oh my horses I I I didn't know you're gonna come so I sent them to the pasture they're far away but this is a very urgent matter I have to help your king so I'm not gonna wait you see how nice I am I'm rushing to help you so much that I don't even worry about my own honor but of course he was lying and he was trying to protect himself that they shouldn't protect himself that they shouldn't reveal the secret why does he have a female donkey um and then later we will find out that really this donkey was uh billum's wife he used it as his wife why for two reasons number one bilam had a desire that could be unfulfilled
