Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place,.... More narrow than the other, at a further distance:
where was no way to turn, either to the right hand or to the left; it was so strait and close a place that the angel filled the whole breadth of it, that there was no passing him; so that there was no getting forward nor backward; not forward, because the angel filled up the way, and there was no slipping by him; nor backward, because it could not turn itself to the right or left.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 22:26. And the angel - stood in a narrow place — In this carriage of the angel says Mr. Ainsworth the Lord shows us the proceedings of his judgments against sinners:
First he mildly shakes his rod at them but lets them go untouched.
Secondly he comes nearer and touches them with an easy correction as it were wringing their foot against the wall.
Thirdly, when all this is ineffectual, he brings them into such straits, that they can neither turn to the right hand nor to the left, but must fall before his judgments, if they do not fully turn to him.
