1 sn The first part of Balaam’s activity ends in disaster for Balak – he blesses Israel. The chapter falls into four units: the first prophecy (vv. 1-10), the relocation (vv. 11-17), the second prophecy (vv. 18-24), and a further location (vv. 25-30).
2 tn Heb “he brought him”; the referents (Balak and Balaam) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Some scholars do not translate this word as “Pisgah,” but rather as a “lookout post” or an “elevated place.”
4 tn Heb “and he built.”
