Números 23:26 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:26

But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, told not I thee
He appeals to him for his honesty and faithfulness, for honest and faithful he would be thought to be, both to God and man; that when he first met him, he plainly told him what he must expect: from him:

saying, all that the Lord speaketh, that I must do;
which was very true, he was obliged to do as he had bid him, and speak what he had said unto him, though it was sore against his will; he would fain both have spoken and done otherwise, if he might have been permitted.

Números 23:26 In-Context

24 Eis que o povo se levanta como leoa, e se ergue como leão; não se deitará até que devore a presa, e beba o sangue dos que foram mortos:

25 Então Balaque disse a Balaão: Nem o amaldiçoes, nem tampouco o abençoes:

26 Respondeu, porém, Balaão a Balaque: Não te falei eu, dizendo: Tudo o que o Senhor falar, isso tenho de fazer?

27 Tornou Balaque a Balaão: Vem agora, e te levarei a outro lugar; porventura parecerá bem aos olhos de Deus que dali mo amaldiçoes.

28 Então Balaque levou Balaão ao cume de Peor, que dá para o deserto.
