Números 22:32 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 22:32

And the angel of the Lord said unto him
When risen up, and standing before him:

wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times?
the brute creatures are not to be beaten without cause, nor to be misused and abused by men, even their owners:

behold, I went out to withstand thee;
the ass was not to be blamed, nor to be beaten for turning aside, or lying down, it was I that stood in the way, and hindered its going forward, and this was done by me on purpose to oppose and stop thee:

because thy way is perverse before me;
the journey he took was not with his good liking and approbation, and especially seeing he went with an intention, if possible, to serve Balak, and curse Israel; the way of his heart was bad, which the Lord knew; it was not directed according to his will, but swerved from it; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``it is manifest before me that thou seekest to go and curse the people, and the thing is not agreeable to me.''

Números 22:32 In-Context

30 Mas a jumenta disse a Balaão: “Não sou sua jumenta, que você sempre montou até o dia de hoje? Tenho eu o costume de fazer isso com você?”“Não”, disse ele.
31 Então o SENHOR abriu os olhos de Balaão, e ele viu o Anjo do SENHOR parado no caminho, empunhando a sua espada. Então Balaão inclinou-se e prostrou-se com o rosto em terra.
32 E o Anjo do SENHOR lhe perguntou: “Por que você bateu três vezes em sua jumenta? Eu vim aqui para impedi-lo de prosseguir porque o seu caminho me desagrada.
33 A jumenta me viu e se afastou de mim por três vezes. Se ela não se afastasse, certamente eu já o teria matado; mas a jumenta eu teria poupado”.
34 Balaão disse ao Anjo do SENHOR: “Pequei. Não percebi que estavas parado no caminho para me impedires de prosseguir. Agora, se o que estou fazendo te desagrada, eu voltarei”.
