Commentary on Numbers 23:15
Balaam's instruction 'Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder' uses the same formula as before (verse 3), showing Balaam's continued belief that ritual position matters. The Hebrew karah (meet) indicates seeking divine encounter. Despite the first oracle's failure to curse, Balak persists with identical ritual, revealing human tendency to repeat failed methods hoping for different results. This exposes the futility of religious formalism divorced from submission to God's will. Prayer and ritual divorced from obedience become mere superstition.
