Bible Question: What is the root meaning for the word Balaam? |
Bible Answer: Hi The root meaning of the word (in Numbers Bilam) is probably bala meaning 'to swallow down' (ARABIC balam - glutton). John in Rev takes it as bala - 'am (swallower of the people) and thus changes it to nico-laos (conqueror of the people) Best wishes |
