Numbers 22:23 in Context — Numbers 22
21 Así Balaam se levantó por la mañana, y cinchó su asna, y fué con los príncipes de Moab.
22 Y el furor de Dios se encendió porque él iba; y el ángel de Jehová se puso en el camino por adversario suyo. Iba, pues, él montado sobre su asna, y con él dos mozos suyos.
23 Y el asna vió al ángel de Jehová, que estaba en el camino con su espada desnuda en su mano; y apartóse el asna del camino, é iba por el campo. Entonces hirió Balaam al asna para hacerla volver al camino.
24 Mas el ángel de Jehová se puso en una senda de viñas [que tenía] pared de una parte y pared de otra.
25 Y viendo el asna al ángel de Jehová, pegóse á la pared, y apretó contra la pared el pie de Balaam: y él volvió á herirla.
