Numbers 22:20 in Context — Numbers 22

18 E Balaão respondeu, e disse aos servos de Balaque: Ainda que Balaque me desse sua casa cheia de prata e ouro, não posso transgredir a palavra do SENHOR meu Deus, para fazer coisa pequena nem grande.

19 Rogo-vos, portanto, agora, que repouseis aqui esta noite, para que eu saiba que me volta a dizer o SENHOR.

20 E veio Deus a Balaão de noite, e disse-lhe: Se homens vierem a te chamar, levanta-te e vai com eles: porém farás o que eu te disser.

21 Assim Balaão se levantou pela manhã, e preparou sua jumenta, e foi com os príncipes de Moabe.

22 E o furor de Deus se acendeu porque ele ia; e o anjo do SENHOR se pôs no caminho por adversário seu. Ia, pois, ele montado sobre sua jumenta, e com ele dois servos seus.
