Numbers 23:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 23:17

15 And he said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering while I¹ meet the Lord over there.”

16 Then the Lord met Balaam, and ^aput a word in his mouth, and said, “Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”

17 So he came to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”

18 Then he took up his oracle and said:
^a“Rise up, Balak, and hear!
Listen to me, son of Zippor!

19 “God^a is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He ^bsaid, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
