Numbers 23:13 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Balak said,—Come—with me unto another place— Balak seems to believe, that the sight of such a numerous people had an effect upon the prophet; and therefore he wishes him now to pass to another place, that he might see only a part of them: whence it seems probable, that they conceived it necessary to have some part at least of the devoted people in view, in order to give effect to their imprecations; as we observed on Numbers 22:41 of the former chapter.

Numbers 23:13

13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
