Episode 81 - Balaam the Diviner and His Articulate Ass Part 1.
Episode Summary
The story is found in the Book of Numbers, chapters 22 through 24. In this story the King of Moab tries to hire someone to curse Israel, which is on the way to the Promised Land. Balaam is the man for the job; at least, that is what the King of Moab thinks. Balaam ends up going with the delegation the king sent, but with strict orders to follow God’s lead. Inexplicably, God gets angry with Balaam even though he was being obedient. What God became an obstacle to Balaam, not only did his ass “see” God’s angel, but even “spoke” about it. It is a bizarre, but compelling story.
