Commentary on Numbers 24:10
Balak's anger erupting—'Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together'—shows rage at unmet expectations. The gesture of striking hands expressed fury and contempt (Job 27:23). Balak had paid for curses and received blessings instead. His accusation 'I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times' reveals the complete reversal of his plans. This demonstrates that God's purposes cannot be thwarted regardless of human schemes, payments, or rituals. What man purposes for evil, God transforms to blessing.
