Balaam is a tricky dude to understand!In the book of numbers, it almost seems like he is a good guy, BUT he is not. He is a bad DUDE through and through.
First he is dumber than a donkey.
God should not have to tell us over and over what we are supposed to do. Balaam keeps asking God, even though God already said no. His donkey gets it, but he doesn't
The same thing is true about him going along with Balak. He should have know enough as a prophet of God, to know he had no business even being with the enemies of Israel (God's people). SO while it seems like he is being the good guy by only blessing the way God says,
Balaam is really just being a greedy SNAKE
Balaam keeps looking for a way to do what Balak wants so Balak will PAY him. Make no mistake, the only reason Balaam is there is that he wants the fatty paycheck.
