And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
Balaam le dijo a Balac: 'Quédate aquí junto a tu holocausto, y yo me iré. Quizás el SEÑOR venga a encontrarse conmigo, y todo lo que me muestre, te lo diré.' Entonces se fue a un lugar alto.
Balaam buscó un encuentro con Dios para recibir una revelación que pudiera compartir con Balac.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Numbers, Balaam was a non-Israelite prophet from Mesopotamia who was summoned by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the advancing Israelites as they journeyed toward the Promised Land. This event highlights the tension between human schemes and divine sovereignty, as Balaam repeatedly emphasized that he could only speak what God revealed to him. As Balaam went to a high place for a potential encounter with God, it reflected ancient practices of seeking divine messages on elevated sites, which were common in the cultures of the ancient Near East.
