“Thou shall not go with them,
neither shalt thou curse the people.”4832
He does not hint at anything with regard to the people, for they
all lay before his view, but [he refers] to the mystery of Christ pointed
out beforehand. For as He was to be born of the fathers according to the
flesh, the Spirit gives instructions to the man (Balaam) beforehand,
lest, going forth in ignorance, he might pronounce a curse upon the
people.4833
| 4833 The conjectural
emendation of Harvey has been adopted here, but the text is very corrupt
and uncertain. | Not, indeed, that [his curse] could take any
effect contrary to the will of God; but [this was done] as an exhibition
of the providence of God which He exercised towards them on account of
their forefathers.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
