In
# Nu 22:12
the directive will of Jehovah is made known to Balaam, in
# Nu 22:20
Jehovah's \\permissive\\ will. The prophet is now free
to go, but knows the true mind of the Lord about it. The matter is
wholly one between Jehovah and His servant. The permission of v. 20
really constitutes a testing of Balaam. He chose the path of
self-will and self-advantage, and Jehovah could not but gravely
disapprove. The whole scene,
# Nu 22:22-35
prepared Balaam for what was to follow.

[1] {utmost}
"Utmost part," etc., means the end of the encampment, the "fourth
part of Israel"
# Nu 23:10
Balak's thought, as Grant (following Keil) points out, was not at all
to permit Balaam to see the whole of the Hebrew host. In bringing
Balaam to Pisgah
# Nu 22:13,14
Balak corrects what, evidently, he thought a blunder.
# Nu 23:13,14
But when the hireling sees the whole camp he must utter a grander word
than before, "He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob," and that with
the nation in full view! What an illustration of the truth of
# Ro 4:5-8

[2] {and said}
In the prophecies of Balaam God testifies on \\behalf\\ of His people
rather than (as usual) \\to\\ them. It is the divine testimony to
their standing as a redeemed people in view of the serpent "lifted
up," and of the water from the smitten rock.
# Nu 21:5-9 20:11
Their \\state\\ was morally bad, but this was a matter concerning the
\\discipline\\ of God, not His \\judgment.\\ The interpretation of
the prophecies is literal as to Israel, typical as to Christians.
Through Christ "lifted up"
# Joh 3:14
our standing is eternally secure and perfect, though our state may
require the Father's discipline
# 1Co 11:30-32 2Co 1:4-9 1:10-13
meantime, against all enemies, God is "for us."
# Ro 8:31
