Numbers 22:23 in Context — Numbers 22
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.
23 E a jumenta viu o anjo do SENHOR, que estava no caminho com sua espada exposta em sua mão; então a jumenta desviou-se do caminho, e foi pelo campo. Em seguida, Balaão espancou a jumenta para fazê-la voltar ao caminho.
24 Mas o anjo do SENHOR se pôs em uma vereda de vinhas que tinha parede de uma parte e parede de outra.
25 E quando a jumenta viu o anjo do SENHOR, apegou-se à parede, e apertou contra a parede o pé de Balaão: e ele voltou a espancá-la.
