Commentary on Numbers 22:9
God coming to Balaam and asking 'What men are these with thee?' demonstrates divine omniscience interrogating not for information but for revelation. God knew the messengers' identity and purpose; the question forced Balaam to articulate the situation, revealing his own heart. This mirrors God's question to Adam 'Where art thou?' (Genesis 3:9) and to Cain 'Where is Abel thy brother?' (Genesis 4:9). God's questions are pedagogical and judicial, not informational. They expose human hearts before rendering judgment or instruction.
