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).

Long curly locks, that is so rude you know how made he gets when you mention her pubic hair.

I mean granted the shit is long and flows and is silky soft, but still after she got them braided it was such a scandal and we all know how that little incident ended with bloodshed, sure it was that time of month but still.... :)

If this was private sorry but I saw an opening and went for the dark humor of course.
