Commentary on Numbers 24:3

Balaam introduces his third oracle with 'Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said.' The phrase 'eyes are open' contrasts with his earlier blindness when the donkey saw the angel he couldn't perceive (22:31). True spiritual sight comes from God, not human wisdom. Despite opened eyes, Balaam's subsequent treachery showed that seeing truth doesn't guarantee obeying it.
