Números 24:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 24:2

And Balaam lifted up his eyes
Being on Mount Peor:

and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes;
in that exact order in which they were directed to encamp under four standards, and so many tribes under each standard, ( Numbers 2:1-34 )

and the Spirit of God came upon him;
not in his grace but in his gifts; not as a spirit of sanctification, but as a spirit of prophecy, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan paraphrase it; and so sometimes the Spirit of God in this sense has come upon wicked men, as on Caiaphas and others, ( John 11:51 ) ( Matthew 7:22 Matthew 7:23 ) .

Números 24:2 In-Context

1 Pero cuando Balán se dio cuenta de que al SEÑOR le complacía que se bendijera a Israel, no recurrió a la hechicería, como otras veces, sino que volvió su rostro hacia el desierto.
2 Cuando Balán alzó la vista y vio a Israel acampando por tribus, el Espíritu del SEÑOR vino sobre él;
3 entonces pronunció su oráculo:«Palabras de Balán hijo de Beor;palabras del varón clarividente.
4 Palabras del que oye las palabras de Dios,del que contempla la visión del Todopoderoso,del que cae en trance y tiene visiones.
5 »¡Cuán hermosas son tus tiendas, Jacob!¡Qué bello es tu campamento, Israel!
