Commentary on Numbers 23:16
God 'met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.' This second oracle followed the same pattern—God controlled Balaam's speech. The repetition emphasized divine sovereignty: attempts to manipulate Balaam into cursing failed because God, not Balak, determined prophetic content. This prefigures Jesus' teaching that disciples speak what the Spirit gives (Matthew 10:19-20).
