Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

At this chapter begins the famous story of Balak and Balaam, their attempt to curse Israel, and the baffling of that attempt; God's people are long afterwards told to remember what Balak the king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, that they might know the righteousness of the Lord, Mic 6:5. In this chapter we have, I. Balak's fear of Israel, and the plot he had to get them cursed, Nu 22:1-4. II. The embassy he sent to Balaam, a conjurer, to fetch him for that purpose, and the disappointment he met with in the first embassy, Nu 22:5-14. III. Balaam's coming to him upon his second message, Nu 22:15-21. IV. The opposition Balaam met with by the way, Nu 22:22-35. V. The interview at length between Balak and Balaam, Nu 22:36-41, etc.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 22 Introduction

Translated Open passage

With this chapter begins the fourth and last division of the Book of Numbers, comprising 14 chapters. In them are narrated the events which befell Israel while encamped in the plains of Moab, and certain instructions and arrangements are laid down by Moses with reference to their actual entry upon the promised inheritance.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Numbers 22 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The Israelites pitch in the plains of Moab, Numbers 22:1. Balak, king of Moab, is greatly terrified, Numbers 22:2-4; and sends to Balaam, a diviner, to come and curse them, Numbers 22:5, Numbers 22:6. The elders of Moab take a reward and carry it to Balaam, Numbers 22:7. He inquires of the Lord, and is positively ordered not to go with them, Numbers 22:8-12. He communicates this to the elders of Moab, Numbers 22:13. They return to Balak with this information, Numbers 22:14. He sends some of his princes to Balaam with promises of great honor, Numbers 22:15-17. He consults God, and is permitted! to go, on certain conditions, Numbers 22:18-20. Balaam sets off, is opposed by an angel of the Lord, and the Lord miraculously opens the mouth of his ass to reprove him, Numbers 22:21-30. Balaam sees the angel, and is reproved by him, Numbers 22:31-33. He humbles himself, and offers to go back, Numbers 22:34; but is ordered to proceed, on the same conditions as before, Numbers 22:35. The king of Moab goes out to meet him, Numbers 22:36. His address to him, Numbers 22:37. Balaam's firm answer, Numbers 22:38. Balak sacrifices, and takes Balaam to the high places of Baal, that he may see the whole of the Israelitish camp, Numbers 22:39-41.

Numbers 22 Introduction

Translated Open passage

INTRODUCTION TO Numbers 22

The children of Israel being come into the plains of Moab, put the king of Moab into a panic, who expressed his fears to the elders of Midian, Numbers 22:1 and sent for Balaam the soothsayer to curse the people of Israel, but he, upon consulting the Lord refused to come, Numbers 22:5, on which the king of Moab sent to him a second time, making large promises of preferment to him, and who at this time got leave from the Lord to go with the messengers, Numbers 22:15, but was met with in the way by an angel of the Lord, who would have slain him had it not been for his ass, of which a very wonderful revelation is given, Numbers 22:22, and the chapter is closed with the interview between Balak king of Moab and Balaam, and an account of what passed between them, and what was done by them, Numbers 22:36.

Nu 22:1-20.

Translated Open passage

Nu 22:1-20.

BALAK'S FIRST MESSAGE FOR BALAAM REFUSED.

1. Israel . . . pitched in the plains of Moab--so called from having formerly belonged to that people, though wrested from them by Sihon. It was a dry, sunken, desert region on the east of the Jordan valley, opposite Jericho.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 22:1

Translated Open passage

The plains - Hebrew ערבה ‛ărābâh; the word is the plural of that which is used to denote the whole depressed tract along the Jordan and the Dead Sea, and onward, where it is still called the Arabah (compare Numbers 21:4 note), to the Elanitic gulf.

On this side Jordan by Jericho - Rather, across the Jordan of Jericho, i. e., that part of Jordan which skirted the territory of Jericho. This form of expression indicates the site of the camp in its relation to the well-known city of Jericho. See Deuteronomy 1:1.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Numbers 22:1

Translated Open passage

And pitched in the plains of Moab - They had taken no part of the country that at present appertained to the Moabites; they had taken only that part which had formerly belonged to this people, but had been taken from them by Sihon, king of the Amorites.

On this side Jordan - On the east side. By Jericho, that is, over against it.

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Numbers 22:1

Translated Open passage

And the children of Israel set forward,.... From the country of Bashan, where we read of them last, after they had conquered Og the king of it, and also Sihon king of the Amorites, and settled some of their tribes in both kingdoms; the particular place from whence they came hither, according to the account of their journeys, were the mountains of Abarim, Numbers 33:48,

and pitched in the plains of Moab the part of them they encamped in reached from Bethjesimoth to Abelshittim, Numbers 33:49,

on this side Jordan by Jericho; or Jordan of Jericho, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; a river that flowed near to Jericho, running between the plains of Moab and the plains of Jericho; according to Josephus (u) it was sixty furlongs, or seven miles and a half from Jericho; but, according to Jerome (w), it was but five miles: or rather, as some versions render it, "over against Jericho" (x); for Jericho was on the other side of the river Jordan, and the plains of Moab, or that part of them where Israel now pitched, were right against that city; and so Josephus says (y).

(u) Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect. 4. (w) De locis Heb. fol. 87. G. (x) Sept. "ex opposito Heiricho", Tigurine version. (y) Antiqu. l. 4. c. 6. sect. 1.
