Summary
We get the numbers and there are tens of thousands of Israelites that are camped ready to head into the promised land and and there's a king of Moab, King Balak or Balak, who who sees, who sees this and has heard word of the Israelites defeating King Aug and the king of the emmel, emmelicate. They went back to Balak and they said he's not coming with us and so Balak continues and says, go again, go again. And so Bailem gives this first oracle and he says, Bailek has brought me from Aram the king of Moab from the Eastern mountains come, curse Jacob for me, come, denounce or Israel. And so again, the Lord put his word into Bailem's mouth and he says, go back in the second or oracle in chapter 23 in verse 18 or beginning in verse 18, then Bailem uttered his oracle saying, rise, Bailek, and here, listen to me of son of Zippor. The spirit of the Lord came upon him and he uttered his oracle, saying the oracle of Bailem son of Baile, the oracle of the man whose eye is clear, the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down but with eyes uncovered. In verse 15 of chapter 24 he says so he uttered his oracle saying the oracle of Baelic son of Baelic, the oracle of the man whose eye is clear, the oracle of the one who hears the words of God and knows the knowledge of the most high, who sees the vision of the Almighty who falls down but with his eyes uncovered.
