Numbers 24:2
The Spirit of God came upon him - This Divine afflatus he had not expected on the present occasion, but God had not yet declared the whole of his will.
1 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at aother times, to seek to use sorcery, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel aencamped according to their tribes; and bthe Spirit of God came upon him.
3 aThen he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,
4 The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who afalls down, with eyes wide open:
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who afalls down, with eyes wide open:
