Numbers 22:33 in Context — Numbers 22

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.

32 E o anjo do SENHOR lhe disse: Por que feriste tua jumenta estas três vezes? eis que eu saí para me opor a ti, porque teu caminho é perverso diante de mim:

33 A jumenta me viu, e afastou-se logo de diante de mim estas três vezes: e se de mim não se houvesse afastado, eu também agora mataria a ti, e a ela deixaria viva.

34 Então Balaão disse ao anjo do SENHOR: Pequei, que não sabia que tu te punhas diante de mim no caminho: mas agora, se te parece mal, eu me voltarei.

35 E o anjo do SENHOR disse a Balaão: Vai com esses homens: porém a palavra que eu te disser, essa falarás. Assim Balaão foi com os príncipes de Balaque.
