📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Numbers 24 records Balaam's final parables, spoken when the Spirit of God came upon him and he turned his face toward the wilderness instead of seeking enchantments. He blesses Israel with visions of a coming king and a star out of Jacob who will crush Israel's enemies, then prophesies against Amalek, the Kenites, and Asshur. After delivering these oracles, Balaam returned to his place and Balak also went his way.

🔍 Text
(1) And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
