“Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. I shall: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him”
Numbers 22:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 22:11
God's command 'Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed' establishes clear divine prohibition. The Hebrew doubled negatives (lo telekh...lo ta'or—not go...not curse) emphasize absolute prohibition. The reason—'for they are blessed' (barukh hu)—reveals that Israel's blessed status makes them immune to cursing. This demonstrates the doctrine of eternal security from a corporate perspective: whom God blesses cannot be cursed (Romans 8:31-39). Balaam's later attempts to find loopholes reveal persistent rebellion against clear divine command.
