5 ¡Qué hermosas son tus carpas, oh Jacob;
qué bellos son tus hogares, oh Israel!

Números 24:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 24:5

How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob
Not that the matter of which they were made was so rich, or their structure so admirable, but the order in which they were placed was so beautiful and agreeable:

and thy tabernacles, O Israel;
which is the same thing in other words, and which may be applied figuratively to the church of God, which often goes by the names of Jacob and Israel; and agrees with particular congregations and assemblies of saints, where they dwell as in tents in a movable state, like pilgrims and sojourners; and which are the dwelling places of Father, Son, and Spirit, and of the people of God with one another; and are goodly, pleasant, and delightful, because of the presence of God with them, and on account of the provisions there made for them, and the company they there enjoy; see ( Psalms 84:1 Psalms 84:4 Psalms 84:10 ) .

Números 24:5 In-Context

3 y le dio el siguiente mensaje:
«Este es el mensaje de Balaam, hijo de Beor,
el mensaje del hombre cuyos ojos ven con claridad,

4 el mensaje del que oye las palabras de Dios,
del que ve una visión que proviene del Todopoderoso,
y se inclina con los ojos abiertos:

5 ¡Qué hermosas son tus carpas, oh Jacob;
qué bellos son tus hogares, oh Israel!

6 Se extienden ante mí como arboledas de palmeras,
como jardines por la ribera.
Son como altos árboles plantados por el Señor
,
como cedros junto a las aguas.

7 Agua fluirá de sus cántaros;
su descendencia tendrá toda la que necesite.
Su rey será más grande que Agag;
su reino será exaltado.
