Números 22:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 22:27

And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord
The third time; for it seems that he was not always in sight, but disappeared as he removed from place to place, and at every new place where he stood the ass saw him, though her master did not:

she fell down under Balaam;
upon her knees on the ground, not being able to go backwards nor forwards, nor to turn out of the way to the right or left:

and Balaam's anger was kindled;
he was displeased and out of humour before, when it turned into the field, and when it squeezed his foot against the wall, and therefore he smote it; but now falling down with him, he was in a fume and fury, quite enraged:

and he smote the ass with a staff;
which he rode with, perhaps his divining staff, see ( Hosea 4:12 ) , it is not said what he smote it with before but probably with the same: Aben Ezra says, at the first and second time he smote it with a small stick, or with a thong.

Números 22:27 In-Context

25 Al ver el asna al 谩ngel del SE脩OR, se peg贸 contra la pared y presion贸 el pie de Balaam contra la pared; entonces 茅l la golpe贸 otra vez.
26 Y el 谩ngel del SE脩OR se fue m谩s lejos, y se puso en un sitio estrecho donde no hab铆a manera de volverse ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
27 Y viendo el asna al 谩ngel del SE脩OR, se ech贸 debajo de Balaam; y Balaam se enoj贸 y golpe贸 al asna con su palo.
28 Entonces el SE脩OR abri贸 la boca del asna, la cual dijo a Balaam: 驴Qu茅 te he hecho yo que me has golpeado estas tres veces?
29 Y Balaam respondi贸 al asna: Porque te has burlado de m铆. Ojal谩 tuviera una espada en mi mano, que ahora mismo te mataba.
