Numeri 23:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:14

And he brought him into the field of Zophim
Or Sede Tzophim, as Hillerus F9 reads it, so called from the watch tower, and watchmen in it: Jarchi says, it was a high place, where a watchman stood to observe if an army came against a city, and so a very proper place to take a view of the armies of Israel from:

to the top of Pisgah;
a high hill in this place, where perhaps the watch tower was, or, however, the watchman stood: this looked towards Jeshimon or Bethjesimoth, in the plain of Moab, where Israel lay encamped, see ( Numbers 21:20 ) ( 33:49 ) : and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar: as he had done before, ( Numbers 23:2 ) .

12 Ed egli rispose, e disse: Non prenderei io guardia di dir ciò che il Signore mi ha messo in bocca?
13 E Balac gli disse: Deh! vieni meco in un altro luogo, onde tu lo vedrai; tu ne puoi di qui veder solamente una estremitĂ , tu non lo puoi veder tutto; e maledicimelo di lĂ .
14 E lo condusse al campo di Sofim, nella cima di Pisga; ed edificò sette altari, e offerse un giovenco e un montone, sopra ciascuno altare
15 E Balaam disse a Balac: Fermati qui presso al tuo olocausto, e io me ne andrò colà allo scontro.
16 E il Signore si fece incontro a Balaam, e gli mise la parola in bocca; e gli disse: Ritorna a Balac, e parla così.
