The Expositor
THE EXPOSITOR. BALAAM: AN EXPOSITION AND STUDY. III. The Conclusion. WE have now studied all the Scriptures which relate to Balaam, and if our study has added but few new features to his character, it has served, I hope, to bring out his features more clearly, to cast higher lights and deeper shadows upon them, and to define and enlarge our conceptions both of the good and of the evil qualities of the man. The problem of his character-how a good man could be so. bad and a great man so base-has not yet been solved ; we are as far per haps from its solution as ever : but something-much has been gained if only we have the terms of that problem more distinctly and fully before our minds. To reach the solution of it, in so far as we can reach it, we must fall back on the second method of inquiry which, at the outset, I proposed to employ. We must apply the comparative method to the history and character of Balaam ; we must place him beside other prophets as faulty and sinful as himself, and in whom the elements were as strangely mixed as they were in him : we must endeavour to classify him, and to read the problem of his life in the light of that of men of his own order and type. Yet that is by no means easy to do without putting him to a grave disadvantage. For the only prophets with whom We can compare him are the Hebrew prophets ; and ·Balaam JULY, 1883. -

The Torah: a Women's Commentary
STUDY GUIDE The Torah: A Women’s Commentary Parashat Balak NUMBERS 22:2-25:9 Study Guide written by Rabbi Stephanie Bernstein Dr. Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Dr. Lisa D. Grant, and Rabbi Andrea L. Weiss, Ph.D., editors Rabbi Hara E. Person, series editor Parashat Balak Study Guide Themes Theme 1: The Seer Balaam—Have Vision Will Travel Theme 2: It’s a Slippery Slope—the Dangers of Foreign Women INTRODUCTION n Parashat Balak the Israelites are camped on the plains of Moab, ready Ito enter Canaan. In the midst of their final preparations to enter the land God promised to their ancestors, yet another obstacle emerges. Balak, king of Moab, grows concerned about the fierce reputation of the Israelites, which he observed in the Israelites’ encounter with the Amorites (Numbers 21:21–32). Balak’s subjects worry that the Israelites, due to their large numbers, will devour the resources of Moab. In response, Balak hires a well-known seer named Balaam to curse the Israelites, thus reflecting the widely held belief in the ancient world that putting a curse on someone was an effective means of subduing an enemy. The standoff between the powers of the God of Israel and those of a foreign seer proves to be no contest. Even Balaam’s talking female donkey, who represents the biblical ideal of wisdom, recognizes the efficacy of God’s power—unlike her human master, the professional seer. Although hired to curse the Israelites, Balaam ends up blessing them instead. In a series of four oracles, Balaam ultimately does the opposite of what Balak desires and establishes that the power of Israel’s God is greater than even the most skilled human seers. -

The Prophets
Week 8: The Prophets Monday – The Prophet is Called. Read Jeremiah 1 Question: The book of Jeremiah comes after Isaiah, is longer than Ezekiel and the 12 minor prophets combined. Within its pages are messages to God’s people in the closing days of Judah as well as prophecies of the Messiah. Making it a very integral part of the story of the Bible. Just as important was the instrument used to tell it. Where was Jeremiah from and who was his father? What was Jeremiah’s purpose and how did he respond to that call? During who’s reign was he called? Tuesday – The Coming of Immanuel. Read Isaiah 7:1-25 Question: Isaiah’s book has more chapters than any other prophetic book and looks further into the future than any other prophetic book. Isaiah’s relationship was slightly more favorable than most of the prophets. He was a prominent citizen of Jerusalem and had access to both the royal and priestly leadership. Isaiah is filled with prophecy and foretelling of Immanuel’s impending entrance into the world. Specifically, in this chapter Isaiah was sent to speak to King Ahaz’s unbelief (chapters 7-12), describe the declaration in this part of the passage in chapter 7. What problem did Ahaz face? How did God offer to help? What was Ahaz’s reason for refusal? Wednesday – The Commission of Ezekiel. Read Ezekiel 3 Question: Ezekiel, the priest son of Buzi, was the one of the three major prophets. The book shares a similar background with Daniel. He explains to Judah that they must be judged, encourages the remnant concerning restoration, and emphasizes God’s preeminence. -
The Zeal of Pinchas (Phinehas)
Kehilat Kol Simcha July 27, 2019 Gainesville, Florida Shabbat Teaching The Zeal of Pinchas (Phinehas) 10 Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the kohen has turned away My anger from Bnei-Yisrael because he was very zealous for Me among them, so that I did not put an end to Bnei-Yisrael in My zeal. 12 So now say: See, I am making with him a covenant of shalom! 13 It will be for him and his descendants a cove- nant of an everlasting priesthood—because he was zealous for his God and atoned for Bnei-Yisrael” (Nu. 25:10-13). It is advantageous to read/review the context of the beginning Parashat Pinchas when the Torah celebrates Pinchas’ zeal. Israel falls prey to the sin of immorality and idolatry. In last week’s Torah Reading (Balak) the gentile prophet Balaam was unable to curse Israel even though Moabite King Balak offered him a great reward. After blessing Israel in Numbers 24 Balaam and Balak depart from each other without Balaam getting any reward: “25 Then Balaam got up and went and returned to his own place, and Balak went on his way” (Numbers 24:25). That was not the end of Balaam’s influence and evil doings. Yeshua elucidates on the doctrine/teaching of Balaam to the Messianic Congregation at Pergamum: “14 But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who was teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before Bnei-Yisrael, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality” (Rev. -
