Números 23:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:28

And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor
The name of an high mountain in Moab, so called from a gap or opening in it; here the idol Baal was worshipped, and from hence had the name of Baalpeor, ( Numbers 25:3 ) and here, very probably, was a temple built to the honour of him, called Bethpeor, the house or temple of Baalpeor, ( Deuteronomy 34:6 ) ,

that looketh towards Jeshimon;
as Pisgah also did, and very likely it was not far from it, since from thence they came hither, ( Numbers 23:14 ) ( 21:20 ) . Jeshimon is the same with Bethjesimoth, and so the Targum of Jonathan here calls it, a part of the plains of Moab, where Israel lay encamped, ( Numbers 33:49 ) so that from hence Balaam could have a full view of them.

Números 23:28 In-Context

26 Balán le respondió:—¿Acaso no te advertí que yo repetiría todo lo que el SEÑOR me ordenara decir?
27 Balac le dijo a Balán:—Por favor, ven conmigo, que te llevaré a otro lugar. Tal vez a Dios le parezca bien que los maldigas desde allí.
28 Así que llevó a Balán hasta la cumbre del monte Peor, desde donde puede verse el desierto de Jesimón.
29 Allí Balán le dijo:—Edifícame siete altares en este lugar, y prepárame siete novillos y siete carneros.
30 Balac hizo lo que Balán le pidió, y en cada altar ofreció un novillo y un carnero.
