23 Kaj la azenino ekvidis la angxelon de la Eternulo, starantan sur la vojo kun elingigita glavo en la mano, kaj la azenino forturnigxis de la vojo kaj iris sur la kampon; kaj Bileam ekbatis la azeninon, por returni gxin sur la vojon.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 23. But the Rational, in spite of its condition, perceives Divine Truth from Divine Good as its opponent, and also its power to destroy falsity; and therefore it is diverted from the path of error, and naturally tends to conjunction with good; but the affection of falsity perverts the Rational, and forces it to bend to its requirements.
