Nombres 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.

Nombres 23:26 In-Context

24 Voici un peuple qui se lèvera comme une lionne, et qui se dressera comme un lion; il ne se couchera point qu'il n'ait dévoré la proie et bu le sang des blessés.

25 Alors Balak dit à Balaam: Ne le maudis point, mais ne le bénis pas non plus!

26 Et Balaam répondit et dit à Balak: Ne t'ai-je pas dit: Je ferai tout ce que l'Éternel dira?

27 Balak dit encore à Balaam: Viens donc, je te conduirai en un autre lieu; peut-être que Dieu trouvera bon que tu me le maudisses de là.

28 Et Balak conduisit Balaam au sommet du Peor, qui regarde en face du désert.
