Balaam

Balaam (Hebrew: בִּלְעָם, Modern: Bil'am, Tiberian: Bīlʻām; Arabic: بلعم, romanized: Bilʿam; Greek: Βαλαάμ, romanized: Balaam) is a figure in the Hebrew Bible, whose story is primarily found in the Book of Numbers. He is a prophet who is best known for being hired by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the Israelites. However, Balaam, who is described as having a strong connection to God, can only bless the Israelites, much to Balak's dismay. Despite his initial reluctance, Balaam eventually gives in to Balak's persistent requests and travels to Moab, where he delivers a series of oracles. The most famous of these is the blessing that includes the line "How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy tabernacles, O Israel!" (Numbers 24:5). In later Jewish and Christian tradition, Balaam is often depicted as a wicked figure who ultimately betrays his prophetic calling. The New Testament, for instance, portrays him as a greedy and false prophet (2 Peter 2:15-16, Jude 1:11, Revelation 2:14). The story of Balaam serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the importance of remaining faithful to one's prophetic calling.
