2 | God is angry at Balaam? Why? | Num 22:22 | Makarios | 12241 | ||
Greetings flylikeaneagle! Excellent question.. There appears to be a contradiction between the permission God grants Balaam here and the prohibition He had given earlier (v. 12), and then the anger the Lord displayed against Balaam on his journey (v. 22). "The difficulty is best understood as lying in the contrary character of Balaam. God had forbidden him to go to curse Israel. He then allowed Balaam to go, but only if he would follow the Lord's direction. But Balaam's real intentions were known to the Lord, and so with severe displeasure He confronted the pagan prophet." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible) The Lord had permitted Balaam to give them blessings only and not a curse. --Nolan |
