"Balaam was a diviner-prophet from the Mesopotamian town of Pethor. In today’s world, we would call him a spiritualist or a psychic. Ancient Near Eastern texts report the power of diviners, magicians, and soothsayers to manipulate the gods through incantations and other methods to bring a blessing or a curse to individuals or people groups. They were also known to foretell the future and advise kings and other leaders. Balak the king of Moab hired Balaam to come and curse the Israelites. He hated them and wanted the Israelites to be taken away and destroyed, wiped off of the face of the map! But in a divine twist of irony, Balaam was, instead, compelled by God to bless His people Israel. This brings an interesting problem. What happens to the message of Balaam when he comes upon Israel who is unaware of the hate towards them by Moab? We see the results of that confrontation, as we look at Numbers 23.
