We delve into the intriguing story of Balaam and Balak as recorded in the Book of Numbers. Balaam, a pagan prophet hired by Balak to curse Israel, ends up pronouncing blessings instead. Through a series of three attempts to curse Israel, we witness how God speaks through Balaam, emphasizing Israel's unique status and divine protection.
