(Num. 23:1-30) Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars--Balak, being a heathen, would naturally suppose these altars were erected in honor of Baal, the patron deity of his country. It is evident, from Num 23:4 that they were prepared for the worship of the true God; although in choosing the high places of Baal as their site and rearing a number of altars (Kg2 18:22; Isa 17:8; Jer 11:13; Hos 8:11; Hos 10:1), instead of one only, as God had appointed, Balaam blended his own superstitions with the divine worship. The heathen, both in ancient and modern times, attached a mysterious virtue to the number seven; and Balaam, in ordering the preparation of so many altars, designed to mystify and delude the king.
Відкрити джерело ↗And Balaam said unto Balak,.... When upon one of the high places of Baal, and after having taken a view of the people of Israel as they lay encamped: build me here seven altars; this was purely Heathenish; for not only the Israelites after the law of Moses had but one altar, but the patriarchs before that never built but one altar at a time. Some have thought regard is had to the seven planets worshipped by Heathens; though no doubt Balaam pretended to sacrifice to Jehovah the true God, in order to gain him over to him to agree to it to curse Israel, and persuaded Balak, though an idolater, to join with him; and, the more easily to bring him to it, mixes Heathen rites and customs in sacrifice to him: and prepare me here seven oxen, and seven rams; which were creatures offered in sacrifice according to the law of Moses, and before that was given, and by persons who were not under it; and even by seven of each sort, and that by the express command of God, Job 42:8. It may be observed, that both in this, and the preceding clause, the word here is carefully expressed, namely, in one of the high places; there the altars were erected, and thither the oxen were brought to be sacrificed; so that both the place, and the number of the altars, savoured of Heathenish worship, in which he complied to induce the king to sacrifice to Jehovah.
Відкрити джерело ↗Balaam's First Words. - Num 23:1-3. Preparations for the first act, which was performed at Bamoth-baal. At Balaam's command Balak built seven altars, and then selected seven bullocks and seven rams, which they immediately sacrificed, namely, one bullock and one ram upon each altar. The nations of antiquity generally accompanied all their more important undertakings with sacrifices, to make sure of the protection and help of the gods; but this was especially the case with their ceremonies of adjuration. According to Diod. Sic. ii. 29, the Chaldeans sought to avert calamity and secure prosperity by sacrifices and adjurations. The same thing is also related of other nations (see Hengstenberg, Balaam, p. 392). Accordingly, Balaam also did everything that appeared necessary, according to his own religious notions, to ensure the success of Balak's undertaking, and bring about the desired result. The erection of seven altars, and the sacrifice of seven animals of each kind, are to be explained from the sacredness acquired by this number, through the creation of the world in seven days, as being the stamp of work that was well-pleasing to God. The sacrifices were burnt-offerings, and were offered by themselves to Jehovah, whom Balaam acknowledged as his God.
Відкрити джерело ↗Here is, I. Great preparation made for the cursing of Israel. That which was aimed at was to engage the God of Israel to forsake them, and either to be on Moab's side or to stand neuter. O the sottishness of superstition, to imagine that God will be at men's beck! Balaam and Balak think to bribe him with altars and sacrifices, offered without any warrant or institution of his: as if he would eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats. Ridiculous nonsense, to think that these would please God, and gain his favour, when there could be in them no exercise either of faith or obedience! Yet, it should seem, they offered these sacrifices to the God of heaven the supreme Numen - Divinity, and not to any of their local deities. But the multiplying of altars was an instance of their degeneracy from the religion of their ancestors, and their apostasy to idolatry; for those that multiplied altars multiplied gods. Ephraim made many altars to sin, Hos 8:11. Thus they liked not to retain God in their knowledge, but became vain in their imaginations; and yet presumptuously expected hereby to gain God over to them from Israel, who had his sanctuary among them, and his anointed altar. Observe here, 1. How very imperious Balaam was, proud to have the command of a king and to give law to princes. Such is the spirit of that wicked one who exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped. With what authority does Balaam give orders! Build me here (in the place I have pitched upon) seven altars, of stone or turf. Thus he covers his malice against Israel with a show of devotion, but his sacrifice was an abomination, being brought with such a wicked mind, Pro 21:27. That which he aimed at was not to honour God with the sacrifices of righteousness, but to enrich himsel…
Відкрити джерело ↗23:1-30 As a diviner, Balaam performed rituals to interpret omens and ascertain Israel’s future (cp. 23:23; 24:1). Balak had summoned him to pronounce imprecations, but God repeatedly prohibited him from doing so. • It is possible that these sacrifices were connected with the practice of extispicy—the examination of animal livers or other organs for an omen concerning the future. According to ancient Near Eastern texts, this form of fortune-telling was a widely practiced and highly developed art. Such practices were banned from Israel (see Deut 18:9-14; cp. Ezek 21:21). 23:1 The number seven was a sacred symbol (also 23:4, 14, 29; cp. Job 42:8; see “Symbolic Numbers” Theme Note).

І сказав Валаам до Балака: „Збудуй мені тут сім жертівників, і приготуй мені тут сім бичків та сім баранів“.
Горе їм, бо пішли вони дорогою Каїновою, і попали в обману Валаа́мової заплати, і загинули в бунті Коре́я!
Ти зробиш для Мене же́ртівника з землі, і будеш прино́сити на ньому свої цілопа́лення й свої мирні жертви, і дрібну худобу свою, і велику худобу свою. На кожному місці, де Я згадаю Ймення Своє, Я до тебе прийду́ й поблагословлю́ тебе.
А тепер візьміть собі сім бичків та сім барані́в, і йдіть до Мого раба Йова, і принесе́те цілопа́лення за себе, а Мій раб Йов помо́литься за вас, бо тільки з ним Я буду рахува́тися, щоб не вчинити вам злої речі, — бо ви не говорили слу́шного про Мене, як раб Мій Йов“.
І сказав Самуїл: „Чи жада́ння Господа цілопа́лень та жертов таке, як по́слух Господньому голосу? Таж по́слух ліпший від жертви, покірливість — краща від баранячого ло́ю!
І привели́ вони сім биків, і сім барані́в, і сім ове́чок, і сім козлів на жертву за гріх: за царство, і за святиню, і за Юду, а він звелів Ааро́новим синам, священикам, прине́сти це в жертву на Господньому же́ртівнику.
А сьомого дня: бички́ — семеро, барани — двоє, однорічні ягнята — чотирнадцятеро, безвадні.
І сім день свята буде він пригото́влювати цілопа́лення для Господа, сім биків і сім барані́в безвадних на день, сім день, і жертву за гріх, — козла на день.
І сталося, коли Бог допомагав Левитам, що не́сли ковчега Господнього заповіту, то вони прине́сли в жертву сім биків та сім баранів.
І при́йдуть до тебе, як прихо́дить наро́д, і сядуть перед тобою як Мій наро́д, і послухають твоїх слів, але їх не ви́конають, бо що приємне в устах їхніх, те вони зроблять, а серце їхнє ходить за захла́нністю їхньою.
