Números 23:26 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:26

But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, told not I thee
He appeals to him for his honesty and faithfulness, for honest and faithful he would be thought to be, both to God and man; that when he first met him, he plainly told him what he must expect: from him:

saying, all that the Lord speaketh, that I must do;
which was very true, he was obliged to do as he had bid him, and speak what he had said unto him, though it was sore against his will; he would fain both have spoken and done otherwise, if he might have been permitted.

Números 23:26 In-Context

24 O povo se levanta como leoa;levanta-se como o leão,que não se deita até que devore a sua presae beba o sangue das suas vítimas”.

25 Balaque disse então a Balaão: “Não os amaldiçoe nem os abençoe!”

26 Balaão respondeu: “Não disse a você que devo fazer tudo o que o SENHOR disser?”

27 Balaque disse a Balaão: “Venha, deixe-me levá-lo a outro lugar. Talvez Deus se agrade que dali você os amaldiçoe para mim”.

28 E Balaque levou Balaão para o topo do Peor, de onde se vê o deserto de Jesimom.
