Numbers 22:29 in Context — Numbers 22

27 E vendo a jumenta ao anjo do SENHOR, lançou-se debaixo de Balaão: e irou-se Balaão, e feriu à jumenta com um bordão.

28 Então o SENHOR abriu a boca da jumenta, a qual disse a Balaão: Que te fiz, que me feriste estas três vezes?

29 E Balaão respondeu à jumenta: Porque te zombaste de mim: bom seria se eu tivesse espada em minha mão, que agora te mataria!

30 E a jumenta disse a Balaão: Não sou eu tua jumenta? Sobre mim montaste desde que tu me tens até hoje; costumei a fazê-lo assim contigo? E ele respondeu: Não.

31 Então o SENHOR abriu os olhos a Balaão, e viu ao anjo do SENHOR que estava no caminho, e tinha sua espada nua em sua mão. E Balaão fez reverência, e inclinou-se sobre seu rosto.
