Numbers - 24:13 Meaning

“If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:10-14 This vain attempt to curse Israel is ended. Balak broke out into a rage against Balaam, and expressed great vexation. Balaam has a very full excuse; God restrained him from saying what he would have said, and constrained him to say what he would not have uttered.

“And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.”
