Números 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 24:15

And he took up his parable, and said
In this and the following verse; the same preface, in the same words, is made to his prophecy as before, (See Gill on Numbers 24:3) (See Gill on Numbers 24:4); only one clause is added, "and knew the knowledge of the Most High"; that Balaam had some knowledge of God is certain from the names by which he calls him, being such that he made himself known by to the patriarchs, and by which he is frequently called in the sacred writings; but then this knowledge of his was merely notional and speculative, and not spiritual and supernatural, and was such as men may have who are destitute of the grace of God: he was one that professed to know him in words, but in works denied him, see ( 1 Corinthians 13:2 ) ( Titus 1:16 ) and he also was admitted to much nearness to God, and converse with him, of which he boasted; but then this was not for his own sake, or as a mark of friendship to him, but for the sake of the people of Israel, and to prevent his doing them mischief. His prophecy follows.

Números 24:15 In-Context

13 “Aunque Balac me diera su palacio repleto de plata y oro, no podría hacer absolutamente nada en contra de la voluntad del Señor
”. ¡Te advertí que únicamente podría decir lo que el Señor
me dijera!

14 Ahora me regreso a mi propia gente, pero primero, déjame decirte lo que los israelitas harán a tu pueblo en el futuro.

Balaam dio el siguiente mensaje:
«Este es el mensaje de Balaam, el hijo de Beor,
el mensaje del hombre cuyos ojos ven con claridad,

16 el mensaje del que oye las palabras de Dios,
del que tiene conocimiento dado por el Altísimo,
del que ve una visión que proviene del Todopoderoso,
y se inclina con los ojos abiertos:

17 Lo veo a él, pero no aquí ni ahora.
Lo percibo, pero lejos, en un futuro distante.
Una estrella se levantará de Jacob;
un cetro surgirá de Israel.
Aplastará la frente del pueblo de Moab,
y partirá el cráneo de la gente de Set.
