Were there talking animals in the Bible?

Answer 1

With the exception of the Devil, in serpentine guise, tempting Eve, in Genesis, I don"t think there are talking animals ( which would require a Miracle- a suspension of natural law) in The Bible. There was a cartoon drama called ( The Night the animals talked) and it has the premise , on the First Christmas,this unheralded Miracle took place, for one night only- in the stable of Bethlehem. In the cartoon , the bull was more or less the animal-in-chief. There is no scriptural authority for this amusing but untrue story.

Another Answer:

• The serpent talked to Eve in the Garden of Eden
• Baalim's ass spoke to him.

Another View:

In the verses below, it appears the donkey is talking but later it shows it was God's angel speaking with the donkey's mouth opened:

Numbers 22:28-31

New International Version (NIV)

28 Then the Lord opened the donkey's mouth, and it said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"

29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now."

30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?"

"No," he said.

31 Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
