Numbers 24:17

¹⁷I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.b

In **Numbers 24**, Balaam, despite Balak's persistent attempts to curse Israel, finds himself compelled by the Spirit of God to bless them once again, delivering four profound oracles. These prophecies not only affirm God's unwavering commitment to His people but also look forward to the coming of a powerful king from Israel, a “star” and “scepter” who will conquer its enemies. This chapter highlights the sovereignty of God, who can turn even the intentions of an adversary into declarations of His divine will and future plans.
