Wesley's Numbers 22:29 Bible Commentary
22:29 Balaam said - Balaam was not much terrified with the ass's speaking, because perhaps he was accustomed to converse with evil spirits, who appeared to him and discoursed with him in the shape of such creatures.Perhaps he was so blinded by passion, that he did not consider the strangeness of the thing.
