Commentary on Numbers 22:20
Theological / DevotionalGod came. The divine messenger is again the Almighty Himself.
If the men come. That is, if they called in the morning to hear his answer.
Rise up, and go. The Lord allowed the prophet to do that which he was determined to do. Balaam was not sincerely seeking God’s will, for he already knew what it was (v. 12). He was determined on his own course, and sought an appearance of permission.
The word. Balaam knew from this statement that he would not be allowed to curse Israel, and to set out with the messengers of Balak was to receive rich presents and go under false pretenses.
