 20Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do.
 21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
 22And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him.
 23And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field, and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way.
 24And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
 25And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.
 26Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
 27And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff.
 28And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
 29And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee!
 30And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No.
 31Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face.
 32And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came forth to withstand thee, for the way thou walkest in is for ruin before me.
 33And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times; had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and saved her alive.
 34And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again.
 35And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
 36And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet him, to the city of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is at the extremity of the border.
 37And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why didst thou not come to me? am I not surely able to honour thee?
 38And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
 39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth.
 40And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him.
 41And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the extremity of the people.
 1And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
 2And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
 3And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill.
 4And God met Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon each altar.
 5And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
 6And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
 7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!
 8How shall I curse whom *God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?
 9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
 10Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!
 11And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
 12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?
 13And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.
 14And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
 15And Balaam said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.
 16And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
 17And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
 18Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!
 19*God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good?
 20Behold, I have received mission to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
 21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst.
 22*God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo.
 23For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath *God wrought!
 24Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.
 25And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
 26And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?
 27And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence.
 28And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste.
 29And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
 30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
 1And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling in tents according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
 3And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
 4He saith, who heareth the words of *God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:
 5How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel!
 6Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters.
 7Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
 8*God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite them in pieces.
 9He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness: who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
 10Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times!
 11And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour.
 12And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
 13If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak?
 14And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.
 15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
 16He saith, who heareth the words of *God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:
 17I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.
 18And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession,--they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly.
 19And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth.
 20And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction.
 21And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;
 22But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
 23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when *God doeth this?
 24And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction.

Num. 16:1‑35• 1And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and with him Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;
 2and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;
 3and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?
 4When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
 5And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.
 6This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
 7and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!
 8And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
 9Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?
 10--that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
 11For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
 12And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
 13Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?
 14Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!
 15Then Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
 16And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
 17And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
 18And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.
 19And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.
 20And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
 21Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
 22And they fell on their faces, and said, O *God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?
 23And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
 24Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
 25And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
 26And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.
 27And they got up from the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
 28And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
 29if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
 30but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.
 31And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
 32And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.
 33And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.
 34And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
 35And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense. (Num. 16:1‑35)
;
Num. 26:9‑10• 9and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, summoned of the assembly, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the band of Korah, when they contended against Jehovah.
 10And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that band died, when the fire devoured the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign. (Num. 26:9‑10)

• -"The gainsaying of Core" is direct rebellion against all constituted authority; it is man's self -will exerting its supremacy. (“The Corruption of Christianity” by G.V. Wigram)
• " The way of Cain" is natural unbelief, accompanied by hatred of righteousness…." Balaam" is the embodiment of the principle of religious corruption. He possessed the truth, but used it for corrupt ends. It was not the rejection of God's revelation, but the employment of the light he possessed without the exercise of conscience, and without seeking God's ends....Korah is a type of the last phase of apostasy; when the ecclesiastical and civil power will be found in open revolt against the kingly and priestly rights of the Lord Jesus Christ (“The Epistle of Jude”)
• Observe here the word, "Woe." I do not know it anywhere in the New Testament except in the very different application which the apostle makes to himself in 1 Cor. 9:16, if he did not make the glad tidings known. Here it is, "Woe unto them." I am not of course speaking of the Gospels, but of the Epistles (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• Cain sees nothing defective in the offering itself-in the materials that composed the offering; but there is this vital defect that completely ruined him, and that is, there was no faith. There is no mention of either God on the one hand, which must be, nor, on the other hand, was there any judgment of his own sinfulness. He failed therefore completely as to the inner man, for God never calls upon men who put on any appearance before Him. That is what was done here; perhaps no great depth of it, but still Cain took the place of a worshipper and he brought his offering to Jehovah, with no consciousness of his own ruin by sin, nor of God's grace, or of the need of it….It is a departure from faith, it is a departure from love, it is a departure from righteousness. (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• It is not the mere order of history. If it were the order of history then the error of Balaam would be put last. It is a moral law, it is the order of men's souls. (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• Balaam was drawn to curse Israel, and he was induced to do so by all the offers of gold and silver and honor of every kind. And I will even say that he tried to make it out that he did not care for money; he said he was entirely above such a paltry consideration. (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• Balaam thought to employ the women of Moab to draw the Israelites after idolatry. He could not turn Jehovah away from Israel, so he tried to turn Israel away from Jehovah. (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• Korah belonged to the highest of the Levites; but nothing satisfied him. Why? Because he hated that Moses should have a place that belonged to him beyond any other. (“Jude 10-13” by W. Kelly)
• first {Cain}, that of nature, the opposition of the flesh to the testimony of God and His true people, the impetus which this enmity gives to the will of the flesh; (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• in the second place {Balaam}, ecclesiastical evil, teaching error for reward, knowing all the while that it is contrary to the truth and against the people of God; (article #86573)
• Third {Core}, open opposition, rebellion, against the authority of God in His true King and Priest. (article #86573)

Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Woe unto them! because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed greedily into the error of Balaam’s hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
