La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

Numeri 24:13

Avvegnachè Balac mi desse piena la sua casa d’argento, e d’oro, io non potrei trapassare il comandamento del Signore, per far cosa alcuna, buona o malvagia, di mio senno; ciò che il Signore mi avrà detto, quello dirò?

Quand’anche Balak mi desse la sua casa piena d’argento e d’oro, non potrei trasgredire l’ordine dell’Eterno per far di mia iniziativa alcun che di bene o di male; ciò che l’Eterno dirà, quello dirò?

"Anche se Balak mi dovesse dare la sua casa piena dargento e doro, non potrei trasgredire lordine dellEterno per fare sia bene che male di mia propria iniziativa, ma dovr dire ci che lEterno dir"?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold,.... Which are the very words he said to the princes of Moab, Numbers 22:18,

I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad; for though here it is the "commandment", and there the "word" of the Lord, yet it is the same word in both places in the original text: indeed, here he omits the relation to the Lord he there claims, saying "my God"; and instead of "little or great", here it is "good or bad", but the sense is the same: and he adds, for explanation sake,

of mine own mind: or out of my heart, which was disposed well enough to serve Balak, but was laid under a restraint by the Lord:

but what the Lord said, that will I speak; and he had not only said this to the messengers, but to the king himself, and therefore he thought, that as he had openly and honestly told him this at first, he had no reason to be so angry with him; see Numbers 22:38.
