Números 23:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:28

And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor
The name of an high mountain in Moab, so called from a gap or opening in it; here the idol Baal was worshipped, and from hence had the name of Baalpeor, ( Numbers 25:3 ) and here, very probably, was a temple built to the honour of him, called Bethpeor, the house or temple of Baalpeor, ( Deuteronomy 34:6 ) ,

that looketh towards Jeshimon;
as Pisgah also did, and very likely it was not far from it, since from thence they came hither, ( Numbers 23:14 ) ( 21:20 ) . Jeshimon is the same with Bethjesimoth, and so the Targum of Jonathan here calls it, a part of the plains of Moab, where Israel lay encamped, ( Numbers 33:49 ) so that from hence Balaam could have a full view of them.

Números 23:28 In-Context

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.

29 E Balaão disse a Balaque: Edifica-me aqui sete altares, e prepara-me aqui sete novilhos e sete carneiros.

30 Balaque, pois, fez como dissera Balaão; e ofereceu um novilho e um carneiro sobre cada altar.
