Deuteronomio 23:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:5

Nevertheless, the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam,
&c.] To his solicitations, and the methods he took to prevail on the Lord to suffer him to curse Israel, which he gladly would have done for the sake of Balak's reward:

but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee;
in the very mouth of Balaam, as the Targum of Jonathan; for when he opened his mouth and Balak expected he would have cursed Israel, and he intended it, could he have been permitted, the Lord overruled his tongue, and put such words into his mouth, that instead of cursing Israel, he blessed him; see ( Numbers 23:11 ) ,

because the Lord thy God loved thee;
and therefore would not suffer them to be cursed; for whom the Lord loves they are blessed, and shall be so in time and to eternity.

Deuteronomio 23:5 In-Context

3 No entrar谩 amonita ni moabita en la congregaci贸n del SE脩OR; ni aun en la d茅cima generaci贸n entrar谩 en la congregaci贸n del SE脩OR para siempre;
4 por cuanto no os salieron a recibir con pan y agua al camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto; y porque alquil贸 contra ti a Balaam hijo de Beor de Petor de Mesopotamia de Siria, para que te maldijese
5 Mas no quiso el SE脩OR tu Dios o铆r a Balaam; y el SE脩OR tu Dios te volvi贸 la maldici贸n en bendici贸n, porque el SE脩OR tu Dios te amaba.
6 No procurar谩s la paz de ellos ni su bien en todos los d铆as para siempre.
7 No abominar谩s al idumeo, que tu hermano es; no abominar谩s al egipcio, que extranjero fuiste en su tierra.
