Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 22:2

Theological / Devotional

Balak. Meaning “ravager,” “devastator,” from the root “to lay waste,” “to ravage.” He is mentioned again in Joshua 24:9; Micah 6:5; and in Judges 11:25 without reference to Balaam.

Zippor. Meaning “little bird.” The feminine form of the name is Zipporah, the name of Moses’ wife. The masculine form does not occur again in the OT unless Zophar (Job 2:11) is a variant spelling of the same name.

Had done to the Amorites. That is, to the Amorite (see on Gen. 10:16) kings Sihon and Og, the most powerful of the Canaanite rulers at the time (Deut. 3:8).
