Commentary on Numbers 23:18
Balaam begins the second oracle 'Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.' This formal introduction commands Balak's attention for God's authoritative word. The imperative 'rise up' (Hebrew 'qum') indicates standing for solemn pronouncement. Balaam's role as messenger delivering words he didn't author demonstrates the prophetic office—not personal opinion but divine revelation.
