Balaam (/ˈbeɪlæm/;[1] Hebrew: בִּלְעָם, Standard Bīlʻam Tiberian Bīlʻām) is a diviner in the Torah (Pentateuch) whose story begins in Chapter 22 of the Book of Numbers (Numbers 22).

Every ancient reference to Balaam considers him a non-Israelite, a prophet, and the son of Beor.[2] King Balak of Moab offered him money to curse Israel (Numbers 22–24), but Balaam blessed the Israelites instead as dictated by God. Nevertheless, he is reviled as a "wicked man" in both the Torah and the New Testament (2 Peter 2:15, Jude 1:11, Revelation 2:14).

According to the Book of Revelation (Revelation 2:14), Balaam told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols. The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result (Numbers 31:16).

No, I said you are Jewish. Balaam is a dead asshole from Hebrew history. I’m just disagreeing with you. It’s been fun, a little challenging (you’re that good.) perhaps you should ask @aou to ban my account like he did with my last one?

>Balaam is Jewish and so are you. I hate to say it but there you are.

Oh the liar is lying online just as he always does IRL when he flipflops... Except online you just can't pretend you didn't say what you just did...

Sucks to be you...
