Numbers 22:25 in Context — Numbers 22

23 L’ânesse vit l’ange de l’Éternel qui se tenait sur le chemin, son épée nue dans la main; elle se détourna du chemin et alla dans les champs. Balaam frappa l’ânesse pour la ramener dans le chemin.

24 L’ange de l’Éternel se plaça dans un sentier entre les vignes; il y avait un mur de chaque côté.

25 L’ânesse vit l’ange de l’Éternel; elle se serra contre le mur, et pressa le pied de Balaam contre le mur. Balaam la frappa de nouveau.

26 L’ange de l’Éternel passa plus loin, et se plaça dans un lieu où il n’y avait point d’espace pour se détourner à droite ou à gauche.

27 L’ânesse vit l’ange de l’Éternel, et elle s’abattit sous Balaam. La colère de Balaam s’enflamma, et il frappa l’ânesse avec un bâton.
