Commentary on Numbers 24:2

Balaam 'lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.' The visual of Israel's orderly encampment, organized by tribes, displayed God's covenant structure. The phrase 'spirit of God came upon him' indicates prophetic enablement for authentic revelation. Even unwilling prophets can be seized by God's Spirit to speak truth (like Saul in 1 Samuel 19:23-24).
