Contextual Overview

¹³ And Balak said unto him: 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.' ¹⁴ And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. ¹⁵ And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.' ¹⁶ And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.' ¹⁷ And he came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him: 'What hath the LORD spoken?' ¹⁸ And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor: ¹⁹ God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good? ²⁰ Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back. ²¹ None hath beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the shouting for the King is among them. ²² God who brought them forth out of Egypt is for them like the lofty horns of the wild-ox.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto Balak, stand here by thy burnt offering,.... As he had before directed him, Numbers 23:3

while I meet the Lord yonder; pointing to some place at a little distance, where he expected to meet the Lord, and have some instructions from him, which he seemed confident of, having met with him once already.
