Commentary
In Numbers 24, the Lord speaks to Balaam through a vision, commanding him to bless the Israelites instead of cursing them as Balak had requested. Balaam responds to the Lord's command by blessing the Israelites with a prophetic blessing. He speaks of the greatness of the Israelites, praising their strength and power and predicting their future success. He also speaks of the coming of a great king from the tribe of Judah, who will be a ruler of peace and justice.
