Numberi 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 ) .

Numberi 24:2 In-Context

1 Toen Bileam zag, dat het goed was in de ogen des HEEREN, dat hij Israel zegende, zo ging hij ditmaal niet heen, gelijk meermalen, tot de toverijen; maar hij stelde zijn aangezicht naar de woestijn.
2 Als Bileam zijn ogen ophief, en Israel zag, wonende naar zijn stammen, zo was de Geest van God op hem.
3 En hij hief zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Bileam, de zoon van Beor, spreekt, en de man, wien de ogen geopend zijn, spreekt!
4 De hoorder der redenen Gods spreekt, die het gezicht des Almachtigen ziet; die verrukt wordt, en wien de ogen ontdekt worden!
5 Hoe goed zijn uw tenten, Jakob! uw woningen, Israel!
