Numbers 22:12

¹²וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־בִּלְעָם, לֹא תֵלֵךְ עִמָּהֶם; לֹא תָאֹר אֶת־הָעָם, כִּי בָרוּךְ הוּא׃a

Numbers 22 introduces the enigmatic figure of Balaam, a non-Israelite prophet hired by Balak, king of Moab, to curse the advancing Israelites. Despite Balak's persistent attempts and lavish offers, God repeatedly intervenes, first by speaking through Balaam's donkey and then by directly controlling Balaam's words. This chapter highlights God's sovereignty over human intentions and His unwavering commitment to His covenant people, even when faced with external opposition and spiritual manipulation.
