The Parting of Balaam and Balak
Numbers 24:25
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.


I. BALAAM AND BALAK PARTED, HAVING UTTERLY FAILED IN THEIR DESIGNS.

II. THEY PARTED WITH CHARACTERS CONSIDERABLY MODIFIED BY THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH EACH OTHER.

III. THEY PARTED, BUT NOT FOR EVER. Those who have been associated in this present life will meet again in the great hereafter. Tempter and tempted, oppressor and oppressed, companions in evil designs and companions in noble enterprises — all will meet again.

(W. Jones.)
