Commentary on Numbers 22:1

Israel camped 'in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho,' poised to enter Canaan after 40 years' wandering. This positioning alarmed Moab's king Balak, who witnessed Israel's recent victories. The phrase 'on this side Jordan' (east bank) indicated they stood at Canaan's threshold, setting the stage for Balaam's narrative—when military power failed, spiritual warfare through curse was attempted.
