BALAAM / NUMBERS 22:5

(KJV) Numbers 22:5

He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:

Balaam was not an Israelite but a well-known priest-diviner (prophet; in this case, a false prophet). Balak thought that this man could put curses on others (Numbers 22:6) by influencing the will of the gods and spirits. So Balak turned to Balaam’s knowledge of sorcery, incantations and mysterious manipulations (Numbers 22:2-7; 24:1).

1. Balaam may at one time have been a true follower of God (Numbers 22:18) who later departed from the faith and became a diviner (Numbers 22:7; 31:16; Deuteronomy 23:4-5; 2 Peter 2:15; Jude 1:11).
2. Like all false prophets, he had no genuine concern for God’s honor or the holiness of God’s people. When he was unable to curse the people, Balaam led them into sin and immorality (Numbers 25:1-6; 31:16; Revelation 2:14). For this, he was killed (Numbers 31:8; 25:2).
