Balaam saw what pleased God, per Numbers twenty four
He turned his face and did not resort to sorcery anymore
“The Spirit of God came upon him” and he uttered an oracle
Which talked of Israel’s blessings in ways not just allegorical
“May those who bless [Israel] be blessed”, he did conclude
“And those who curse [Israel] be cursed” as Egypt viewed
In Numbers twenty five, some Israelite men began to stray
They “indulged in sexual immorality” with Moabites each day
They also worshipped the Moabite gods, making it worse
“The Lord’s anger burned” and these men He would curse
In First Corinthians six, Paul says “flee from sexual immorality”
For it is a sin against his own body if someone sins sexually
The “body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” to treat very nice
“Honor God with your body” which was “bought at a price”
God told Moses to “take vengeance on the Midianites”
One thousand men from each tribe prepared for fights
They fought as God had commanded and killed every man
They took the women and children, but that was not the plan
For it was the women who had turned the Israelites astray
That had led God to launch a plague due to His dismay
