Numeri 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 ) .

1 E Balaam, vedendo che piaceva all’Eterno di benedire Israele, non ricorse come le altre volte alla magia, ma voltò la faccia verso il deserto.
2 E, alzati gli occhi, Balaam vide Israele accampato tribĂą per tribĂą; e lo spirito di Dio fu sopra lui.
3 E Balaam pronunziò il suo oracolo e disse: "Così dice Balaam, figliuolo di Beor, così dice l’uomo che ha l’occhio aperto,
4 così dice colui che ode le parole di Dio, colui che contempla la visione dell’Onnipotente, colui che si prostra e a cui s’aprono gli occhi:
5 Come son belle le tue tende, o Giacobbe, le tue dimore, o Israele!
