Special concepts in this chapter
Cursing God's people
God does not allow others to curse his people. Balaam blesses Israel again and the king is angry and sends him home. This may be taken as humor or an ironic situation. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/curse and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/peopleofgod)
