Numbers 22:31 in Context — Numbers 22
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.
31 L’Éternel ouvrit les yeux de Balaam, et Balaam vit l’ange de l’Éternel qui se tenait sur le chemin, son épée nue dans la main; et il s’inclina, et se prosterna sur son visage.
32 L’ange de l’Éternel lui dit: Pourquoi as-tu frappé ton ânesse déjà trois fois? Voici, je suis sorti pour te résister, car c’est un chemin de perdition qui est devant moi.
33 L’ânesse m’a vu, et elle s’est détournée devant moi déjà trois fois; si elle ne se fût pas détournée de moi, je t’aurais même tué, et je lui aurais laissé la vie.
