ARTICLES RELATED TO Balaam | | | |  Balaam: Encyclopedia - BalaamBalaam (Hebrew בִּלְעָם, Standard Hebrew Bilʻam, Tiberian Hebrew Bilʻām) is a prophet in the torah, his story occurring towards the end of the Book of Numbers. The etymology of his name is uncertain, and discussed below. Every ancient reference to Balaam considers him a non-Israelite, a prophet, and the son of Beor, though Beor is not so clearly identified. Despite, in the main story concerning him, the apparantly positive blessings he delivers upon the Israelites, Jewish writing reviles B ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Balaam - Balaam in rabbinic literature
In rabbinic literature Balaam is represented as one of seven gentile prophets; the other six being Beor (Balaam's father), Job, and Balaam's four friends (Talmud, B. B. 15b). In this literature, Balaam gradually acquired a position among the non-Jews, which was exalted as much as that of Moses among the Jews (Midrash Numbers Rabbah 20); at first being a mere interpreter of dreams, but later becoming a magician, until fi ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Balaam - Balaam and other gods In 1967, an archaeological mission found in Deir Alla, Jordan, an ancient Aramaic (Ammonite dialect) inscription written in red and black ink on plaster walls, telling about a hitherto unknown prophecy from a Book of Balaam, foretelling destruction for disobedience to the gods. In this narrative, though still son of Beor, Balaam is a prophet of Shamash, the Semitic sun god. Since Balaam is described as being a prophet of El, in the text of the Torah, and though El is usually translated God, it can also mean a god. The biblical narrative itself may in fact appreciate that Balaam ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Balaam - The stories There are two fairly separate accounts of Balaam in the Bible:
Balaam and Balak, containing a brief aside concerning Balaam and the donkey
Balaam and the Midianites
Balaam - Balaam and Balak.
The main story of Balaam occurs during the sojourn of the Israelites in the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan River, at the close of forty years of wandering, shortly before the death of Moses, and the crossing of the Jordan. The Israelites have already defeated two kings on this side of ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia - Heresy of Peor The heresy of Peor is an event related in the torah at Numbers 25:1-15. Back references to the event occur in Numbers 25:18 and 31:16, Deuteronomy 3.28, Joshua 22:17, Hosea 9:10; Psalm 106:28.

The preceeding story is that of Balaam, in which a prophet, Balaam, ascends the mountain of Pe‘or, and sacrifices to God at the top of it. Having finished sacrificing, Balaam views the Israelites on the plain below, and pronounces a blessing over them, prophecying their blessed nat ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Heresy of Peor - Ba‘al Pe‘or These, and the biblical back-references, are the only ancient records referring to Ba‘al Pe‘or. There is no way of knowing whether Ba‘al Pe‘or was identical with any other Baal, of which there were several, or was only a local god of Mount Pe‘or. Later commentators tend to suppose that this god might be identical with Chemosh who is called the god of Moab in other biblical texts, and sometimes imagine, for their own religious reasons, that the cult of Ba‘al Pe‘al was very licentious.

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Book of Numbers - Summary
Book of Numbers - Chapter 1.
God orders Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, to take the number of those able to bear arms—of all the men "from twenty years old and upward," the tribe of Levi being excepted, and to appoint princes over each tribe. The result of the numbering is that 603,550 Israelites are found to be fit for military service. Moses is ordered to assign to the Levites exclusively the service of the Tabernacle.

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Heresy of Peor - From Moab to Midian The abrupt change from concerns about the Moabites to the Midianites, and mention of the end of a plague which is never described as starting, is explained by the documentary hypothesis as being down to a change from the JE source to the Priestly source. Despite the torah redactor usually, according to the hypothesis, interlacing together the sources, the stories here were evidently difficult to combine, as the redactor appears to have cut the end of the JE version, and beginning of the Priestly source versio ...

| | | | Balaam: Encyclopedia II - Miracle - Non-literal reinterpretations of miracles These are held by both classical and modern thinkers.
In Numbers 22 is the story of Balaam and the talking donkey. Many hold that for miracles such as this, one must either assert the literal truth of this story, or one must then reject the story as false. However, some Jewish commentators (e.g. Saadiah Gaon and Maimonides) hold that stories such as these were never meant to be taken literally in the first place. Rather, these stories should be understoo ...
