Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 23:1

1. Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars —Balak, being a heathen, would naturally suppose these altars were erected in honor of Baal, the patron deity of his country. It is evident, from :- that they were prepared for the worship of the true God; although in choosing the high places of Baal as their site and rearing a number of altars ( 2 Kings 18:22 ; Isaiah 17:8 ; Jeremiah 11:13 ; Hosea 8:11 ; Hosea 10:1 ), instead of one only, as God had appointed, Balaam blended his own superstitions with the divine worship. The heathen, both in ancient and modern times, attached a mysterious virtue to the number seven; and Balaam, in ordering the preparation of so many altars, designed to mystify and delude the king. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
