Numbers 22:10
“Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,”
What does Numbers 22:10 mean?
Balaam is reporting to God what King Balak has just asked of him, though the request itself hasn't been stated yet. In that moment, Balaam is doing something wise: before answering Balak's request, he's bringing the matter to God first. This shows someone seeking divine guidance when facing a decision, which is especially meaningful because Balaam's whole story hinges on what he's about to be asked to do and whether he'll follow God or his own desires.
