Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

22:36-41 Balak has now nothing to complain of, but that Balaam did not come sooner. Balaam bids Balak not depend too much upon him. He seems to speak with vexation; but is really as desirous to please Balak, as ever he had pretended to be to please God. See what need we have to pray every day, Our Father which art in heaven, lead us not into temptation. Let us be jealous over our own hearts, seeing how far men may go in the knowledge of God, and yet come short of Divine grace.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

41. high places of Baal—eminences consecrated to the worship of Baal-peor (see on [87]Nu 25:3) or Chemosh.
