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
This occurred as the Israelites were approaching the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness, and their large numbers intimidated the surrounding nations. The Moabites and Midianites were neighboring peoples who formed an alliance out of fear of Israel's advance. King Balak would later hire the prophet Balaam to curse Israel, leading to one of the most famous stories in Numbers.
