Números 24:5

5 ¡Cuán hermosas son tus tiendas, oh Jacob, tus habitaciones, oh Israel!

Números 24:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 24:5

How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob
Not that the matter of which they were made was so rich, or their structure so admirable, but the order in which they were placed was so beautiful and agreeable:

and thy tabernacles, O Israel;
which is the same thing in other words, and which may be applied figuratively to the church of God, which often goes by the names of Jacob and Israel; and agrees with particular congregations and assemblies of saints, where they dwell as in tents in a movable state, like pilgrims and sojourners; and which are the dwelling places of Father, Son, and Spirit, and of the people of God with one another; and are goodly, pleasant, and delightful, because of the presence of God with them, and on account of the provisions there made for them, and the company they there enjoy; see ( Psalms 84:1 Psalms 84:4 Psalms 84:10 ) .

Números 24:5 In-Context

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 vio la visión del Omnipotente; caído, mas abiertos los ojos:

5 ¡Cuán hermosas son tus tiendas, oh Jacob, tus habitaciones, oh Israel!

6 Como arroyos están extendidas, como huertos junto al río, como árboles de sándalo plantados por el SEÑOR, como cedros junto a las aguas.

7 De sus ramos destilarán aguas, y su simiente será en muchas aguas; y su rey se ensalzará más que Agag, y su reino será ensalzado.
