And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
Y el pueblo de Moab dijo a los líderes de Madián: 'Esta multitud de israelitas devorará todo lo que está a nuestro alrededor, como un buey devora toda la hierba del campo.' En ese tiempo, Balac, hijo de Zipor, era rey de los moabitas.
Los moabitas temían que los israelitas consumieran todos los recursos de la región como un buey devora la hierba.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Numbers, the Israelites were encamped near the land of Moab during their wilderness journey after escaping Egypt, posing a significant threat to the surrounding nations due to their large numbers. The Moabite king, Balak son of Zippor, feared that the Israelites would overwhelm and consume the resources of Moab and its neighbors, comparing it to an ox devouring grass in the field. This anxiety led Balak to seek advice from the elders of Midian, setting the stage for the story of Balaam.
