Commentary on Numbers 23:7

Theological / Devotional

Parable. The Hebrew word refers to a statement given in figurative rather than in plain language.

The king of Moab. A pretense that Balaam had come against his will.

The mountains of the east. Probably a reference to the barren, stony, and mountainous part of Mesopotamia.
