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 Y COMO vió Balaam que parecía bien á Jehová que el bendijese á Israel, no fué, como la primera y segunda vez, á encuentro de agüeros, sino que puso su rostro hacia el desierto;
2 Y alzando sus ojos, vió á Israel alojado por sus tribus; y el espíritu de Dios vino sobre él.
3 Entonces tomó su parábola, y dijo: Dijo Balaam hijo de Beor, Y dijo el varón de ojos abiertos:
4 Dijo el que oyó los dichos de Dios, El que vió la visión del Omnipotente; Caído, mas abiertos los ojos:
5 ¡Cuán hermosas son tus tiendas, oh Jacob, Tus habitaciones, oh Israel!
