Números 24:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 24:2

And Balaam lifted up his eyes
Being on Mount Peor:

and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes;
in that exact order in which they were directed to encamp under four standards, and so many tribes under each standard, ( Numbers 2:1-34 )

and the Spirit of God came upon him;
not in his grace but in his gifts; not as a spirit of sanctification, but as a spirit of prophecy, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan paraphrase it; and so sometimes the Spirit of God in this sense has come upon wicked men, as on Caiaphas and others, ( John 11:51 ) ( Matthew 7:22 Matthew 7:23 ) .

Números 24:2 In-Context

1 Vendo Balaão que parecia bem aos olhos do Senhor que abençoasse a Israel, não foi, como era costume, ao encontro dos encantamentos, mas voltou o rosto para o deserto.
2 E, levantando Balaão os olhos, viu a Israel que se achava acampado segundo as suas tribos; e veio sobre ele o Espírito de Deus.
3 Então proferiu Balaão a sua parábola, dizendo: Fala Balaão, filho de Beor; fala o homem que tem os olhos abertos;
4 fala aquele que ouve as palavras de Deus, o que vê a visão do Todo-Poderoso, que cai, e se lhe abrem os olhos:
5 Quão formosas são as tuas tendas, ó Jacó! as tuas moradas, ó Israel!
