Ed, Good question... The only connection that I can find is that Balaam used omens (Numbers 22:7; 24:1) and soothsaying (Josh. 13:22), and was a lover of money (vv. 17,22; 2 Peter 2:15). The Ryrie NASB Expanded Edition Study Bible offers this explanation, "22:28 Balaam did not seem surprised when God caused the donkey to speak (Gen. 3:1). Perhaps he had had previous experiences with animals speaking through demonic power." (pg. 249) - Nolan |
