Numeri 22:25 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 22:25

And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord
In the same position as before, with a drown sword in his hand, and being frightened again, and in a narrow path, and no way to turn aside:

she thrust herself unto the wall;
to one of the walls, as close as she could, in order to get by the angel:

and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall;
running up so very closely to it:

and he smote her again;
having done it once before, ( Numbers 22:23 ) the times of smiting are observed, for the sake of what the ass after said, and for the confirmation of it.

Numeri 22:25 In-Context

23 E l’asina vide l’Angelo del Signore che stava in su la strada, con la sua spada nuda in mano; e l’asina si rivolse dalla strada, e andava per li campi. E Balaam percosse l’asina, per farla ritornar nella strada.
24 E l’Angelo del Signore si fermò in un sentier di vigne, dove era una chiusura di muro secco di qua e di là.
25 E l’asina, vedendo l’Angelo del Signore, si strinse contro al muro, e stringeva il piè di Balaam al muro; laonde egli da capo la percosse.
26 E l’Angelo del Signore passò di nuovo oltre, e si fermò in un luogo stretto, ove non v’era spazio da volgersi nè a destra nè a sinistra.
27 E l’asina, avendo veduto l’Angelo del Signore, si coricò sotto Balaam; laonde l’ira di Balaam si accese, e percosse l’asina col bastone.
