Numbers 23:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 23:4

2 And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam ^aoffered a bull and a ram on each altar.

3 Then Balaam said to Balak, ^a“Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come ^bto meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height.

4 ^aAnd God met Balaam, and he said to Him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”

5 Then the Lord ^aput a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”

6 So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.

7 And he ^atook up his oracle and said:
“Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram,
From the mountains of the east.
^b‘Come, curse Jacob for me,
And come, ^cdenounce Israel!’

8 “How^a shall I curse whom God has not cursed?
And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?
