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 Cuando la burra vio al 谩ngel del SE脩OR, se arrim贸 contra la pared, con lo que lastim贸 el pie de Bal谩n. Entonces Bal谩n volvi贸 a pegarle.
26 El 谩ngel del SE脩OR se les adelant贸 y se detuvo en un lugar m谩s estrecho, donde ya no hab铆a hacia d贸nde volverse.
27 Cuando la burra vio al 谩ngel del SE脩OR, se ech贸 al suelo con Bal谩n encima. Entonces se encendi贸 la ira de Bal谩n y golpe贸 a la burra con un palo.
28 Pero el SE脩OR hizo hablar a la burra, y ella le dijo a Bal谩n:鈥斅縎e puede saber qu茅 te he hecho, para que me hayas pegado tres veces?
29 Bal谩n le respondi贸:鈥斅e has venido burlando de m铆! Si hubiera tenido una espada en la mano, te habr铆a matado de inmediato.
