Commentary on Micah 6:5
Theological / DevotionalConsulted. Hebrew ya‘as, “to advise.” Balaam answered Balak’s request for a curse by pronouncing a blessing. For the narrative of Balak and Balaam see Numbers 22-24.
From Shittim. It appears that a new clause is here introduced which may be indicated by preceding the phrase “from Shittim” by such words as “consider your passing over.” Shittim was the last stopping place of the Israelites before they crossed the Jordan (Joshua 3:1), and Gilgal the first encampment in the land of Canaan (Joshua 4:19). In their travel from Shittim to Gilgal the Israelites had crossed the Jordan, and had seen the marvelous interposition of God in their behalf (Joshua 3; 4).
