Mordechai TorczynerHOST
The Malach says to Bilaam, "Had the donkey avoided me, I would have killed you and let the donkey live." Rashi explains, quoting a Midrash, that the Malach instead let Bilaam live and killed the donkey so that people won't go around saying, "This is the donkey that defeated Bilaam with his rebuke such that he couldn't respond." Hashem had mercy on Bilaam's honor.
