Commentary on Numbers 22:31

Theological / Devotional

The eyes of Balaam. Compare the experience of Elisha’s servant (2 Kings 6:17).

He saw the angel. Balaam lacked spiritual sight. His two servants apparently saw nothing. Compare the experience of Paul’s companions (Acts 9:7).

Bowed down his head. Not in true repentance for his evil designs, but through abject fear.
