(b) Appeared to him.
Nu 23:5

righteous, and let my last end be like his!
(f) The infinite multitude, as the dust of the earth.

joined to the household of Abraham: thus the wicked

God's judgments.
Nu 23:19
23:19 {h} God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the
son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall

it good?
(h) God's enemies are compelled to confess that his
government is just, constant, and without change or
repentance.
Nu 23:21
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him,
and the {i} shout of a king [is] among them.
(i) They triumph as victorious kings over their enemies.
Nu 23:23
23:23 Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither
[is there] any divination against Israel: {k} according to
this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What
hath God wrought!
(k) Considering what God will work this time for the
deliverance of his people, all the world will wonder.
Nu 23:27
23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will
bring thee unto another {l} place; peradventure it will
please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
(l) Thus the wicked imagine of God that what he will not
grant in one place, he will do in another.
