Abstract

The mentions ofMoses in the prophetic books look to the part of Moses in Ps 105-106, 99 and 77. In relation to these prophetic references, we note the mention of a good example of Balaam, a contemporary of Moses in the country of Moab in Num 22-24. Balaam obeyed Yahweh and did not curse [verb ארר and קבב (Num 22,11.17; 23,8.11.13.25.27; 24,10 only in the Bible); נקב (Num 23,8.25); see הקבה in Num 25,8!] Israel. But Israel did not obey in the line of Balaam and must be cursed [see the verb ארר in Num 22-24 and Num 5,18-27 and אל ה in Num 5,21-27 and שבועה in Num 5,21 (cf. אלה et שבועה in Dn 9,11)].
