Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Por favor, ven y maldice a este pueblo por mí, porque son demasiado poderosos para mí. Tal vez entonces podré vencerlos para atacarlos y echarlos de la tierra. Yo sé que a quien tú bendices será bendecido, y a quien tú maldices será maldecido.
Balac le pide a Balaam que maldiga a Israel porque reconoce el poder de sus bendiciones y maldiciones.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Numbers, the Israelites were encamped on the plains of Moab after their exodus from Egypt, posing a formidable threat to the surrounding nations due to their recent military victories. King Balak of Moab, fearing the Israelites' growing power, summoned Balaam, a pagan prophet known for his ability to bless or curse, hoping that a curse would weaken them and allow Moab to drive them away. This story reflects the ancient Near Eastern belief that words of blessing or cursing from spiritual figures could influence outcomes in battles and daily life.
