Numeri 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 23:18

And he took up his parable
Pronounced the word put into his mouth,

and said, rise up Balak, and hear;
not from his seat, as Eglon a successor of his did, ( Judges 3:20 ) for he was now standing by his burnt offering; but the sense is, that he would raise his attention, and stir up himself with all diligence to hear what he was about to say:

hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor;
or to his word, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, which follow.

16 E l’Eterno si fece incontro a Balaam, gli mise delle parole in bocca e gli disse: "Torna da Balak, e parla così".
17 Balaam tornò da Balak, ed ecco che questi stava presso al suo olocausto, coi principi di Moab. E Balak gli disse: "Che ha detto l’Eterno?"
18 Allora Balaam pronunziò il suo oracolo e disse: "Lèvati, Balak, e ascolta! Porgimi orecchio, figliuolo di Tsippor!
19 Iddio non è un uomo, perch’ei mentisca, né un figliuol d’uomo, perch’ei si penta. Quand’ha detto una cosa non la farà? o quando ha parlato non manterrà la parola
20 Ecco, ho ricevuto l’ordine di benedire; egli ha benedetto; io non revocherò la benedizione.
