Numeri 23:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:27

And Balak said unto Balaam, come, I pray thee
Come along with me: I will bring thee unto another place: if not better for the view of the people, yet a more religious place, on which account the king hoped for success:

peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from
thence;
it may be God will give thee leave to curse the people from that place, being devoted to sacred service: this is the first time that Balak makes mention of the name of God; and he now seems to be satisfied that it was not Balaam's fault that he did not curse Israel, but that he was hindered by God, who would not suffer him to do it.

Numeri 23:27 In-Context

25 Allora Balac disse a Balaam: Non maledirlo, ma pure anche non benedirlo.

26 E Balaam rispose, e disse a Balac: Non ti diss’io, ch’io farei tutto ciò che il Signore direbbe?

27 E Balac disse a Balaam: Deh! vieni, io ti menerò in un altro luogo; forse piacerà a Dio che di là tu mel maledica.

28 Balac adunque menò Balaam in cima di Peor, che riguarda verso il deserto.

29 E Balaam disse a Balac: Edificami qui sette altari, e apparecchiami qui sette giovenchi, e sette montoni.
