Numbers 24:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 24:10

8 “God^a brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall ^bconsume the nations, his enemies;
He shall ^cbreak their bones
And ^dpierce them with his arrows.

9 ‘He^a bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
^b“Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.”

10 Then Balak’s anger was aroused against Balaam, and he ^astruck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, ^b“I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed them these three times!

11 Now therefore, flee to your place. ^aI said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the Lord has kept you back from honor.”

12 So Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,

13 ‘If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the Lord, to do good or bad of my own will. What the Lord says, that I must speak’?

14 And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, ^aI will advise you what this people will do to your people in the ^blatter days.”

Balaam’s Fourth Prophecy

15 So he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;

16 The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:
