And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 22 of Numbers. The angel of God stands in Balaam’s path, and the donkey perceives the danger before its master. After God opens Balaam’s eyes, he understands the heavenly opposition. The scene functions with narrative irony: the prophet who intends to speak for God needs God to allow him to see and understand. The experience prepares Balaam to submit his words to the divine command.

Da ging der Engel des HERRN weiter und trat an einen engen Ort, da kein Weg war zu weichen, weder zur Rechten noch zur Linken.
Y el ángel de Jehová pasó más allá, y púsose en una angostura, donde no había camino para apartarse ni a diestra ni a siniestra.
El ángel de Jehová volvió a adelantarse y se situó en un lugar estrecho donde no había camino para desviarse a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
L'ange de l'Eternel passa plus loin, et se plaça dans un lieu où il n'y avait point d'espace pour se détourner à droite ou à gauche.
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.
Então o anjo do SENHOR passou mais adiante, e pôs-se num lugar estreito, onde não havia caminho para se desviar nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
耶和華的使者又往前去,站在狹窄的地方,那裏左右都無路可轉。
