📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Numbers, Balaam was a prophet from outside Israel who was hired by King Balak of Moab to curse the Israelites as they approached the Promised Land, fearing their growing power. However, God had explicitly instructed Balaam not to curse His people, leading Balaam to demand the building of seven altars and the preparation of sacrifices as a ritual to seek divine guidance. This reflects ancient Near Eastern customs where such offerings were used to consult deities or prophets for important decisions.
