Numbers 22:28 in Context — Numbers 22

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.

28 L’Éternel ouvrit la bouche de l’ânesse, et elle dit à Balaam: Que t’ai-je fait, pour que tu m’aies frappée déjà trois fois?

29 Balaam répondit à l’ânesse: C’est parce que tu t’es moquée de moi; si j’avais une épée dans la main, je te tuerais à l’instant.

30 L’ânesse dit à Balaam: Ne suis-je pas ton ânesse, que tu as de tout temps montée jusqu’à ce jour? Ai-je l’habitude de te faire ainsi? Et il répondit: Non.
