Numbers 23:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 23:14
The move to 'the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah' for a second attempt reveals Balak's desperation. Pisgah means 'summit/cleft' and was part of the mountain range where Moses would later view the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 34:1). Ironically, Balak brought Balaam to the very place God would use to show His servant Moses the blessing of the land. Geography sacred to Israel's history becomes the site of failed cursing. This demonstrates that God consecrates places for His purposes; they cannot be used against Him.
