Contextual Overview

1 And Balaam said vnto Balac: Buylde me here seuen aulters, & prepare me here seuen oxen & seuen rammes. 2 And Balac dyd as Balaam sayde: And Balac and Balaam offred on euery aulter an oxe and a ramme. 3 And Balaam said vnto Balac: Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go, if happly the Lorde will meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I wyll tell thee. And he went vp hyer. 4 But God met Balaam, & [Balaam] sayd vnto hym: I haue prepared seuen aulters, and haue offred vpon euery aulter an oxe and a ramme. 5 And the Lorde put a saying in Balaams mouth, and sayde: Go agayne to Balac, and say on this wyse. 6 And when he went agayne vnto him, lo, he stoode by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the lordes of Moab. 7 And he toke vp his parable, and sayd: Balac the king of Moab hath brought me fro Mesopotamia, out of the mountaynes of the east, [saying] Come, curse Iacob for my sake, come and defie Israel. 8 Howe shall I curse hym, whom God hath not cursed? or howe shall I defie hym, whom God hath not defied? 9 For from the toppe of the rockes I see hym, and from the hylles I beholde hym: lo, the people shall dwell by them selues, and shal not be reckened among the nations. 10 Who can tell the dust of Iacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? I pray God that my soule may dye the death of the righteous, and that my last ende may be like his.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Balak said unto Balaam, what hast thou done unto me?.... Or "for me" f; nothing at all, to answer his purpose, or his end in sending for him;

I took thee to curse mine enemies: so he calls the Israelites, though they had never done him any wrong; nor committed any acts of hostility against him, nor showed any intention to commit any; nay, were forbidden by the Lord their God to contend in battle with him and his people;

and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether; or, "in blessing blessed" g, done nothing but bless them, and that with many blessings, or pronounced them blessed, and prophesied of their blessedness, for their number, their safety, and of their happiness, not only in life, but at and after death.

f לי "pro me". g ברכת ברך "benedixisti benedicendo", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator.
