Numbers 24:20

Context
Balaam’s Final Prophecies

24:20 Then Balaam 1  looked on Amalek and delivered this oracle: 2 

“Amalek was the first 3  of the nations,

but his end will be that he will perish.”

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Balaam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “and he lifted up his oracle and said.” So also in vv. 21, 23.

3 sn This probably means that it held first place, or it thought that it was “the first of the nations.” It was not the first, either in order or greatness.
