Parashat Balak
From Zissil
Parashat-Balak
Dread of the Jews
Balak the son of Tzippor saw all the Jews had done to the Amorites, and realizing that if Sichon and Og could not resist them, the Mobites certainly could not.[1] Consequently[1] Moab became terrified of the Jews for they were numerous, causing them to become disgusted with their own lives.[2] Moab said to the elders of Midian; Now the Jews will eat up everything around us like the ox eats up the greens of the field. Balak the son of Tzippor was king of Moab at that time.
