Numbers 24:1

¹וַיַּרְא בִּלְעָם כִּי טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא־הָלַךְ כְּפַעַם־בְּפַעַם לִקְרַאת נְחָשִׁים וַיָּשֶׁת אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּר פָּנָיו ׃

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.
