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 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!

6 Como vales, elas se estendem; são como jardins � beira dos rios, como árvores de aloés que o Senhor plantou, como cedros junto �s águas.

7 De seus baldes manarão águas, e a sua semente estará em muitas águas; o seu rei se exalçará mais do que Agague, e o seu reino será exaltado.
