• What Overflowing! Those who are drawing from the infinite resources of God have something to impart to others. They take in more than they can well contain, hence Balaam's words (although the poor man did not know what he was saying), “he shall pour water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters.” If Balak had understood what he was now hearing he would have had no dread of Israel. The people were intended to be a blessing to all the nations; they were to spread abroad the knowledge of the one true God; and to share with others His wonderful grace. (“The Beauty and Order of God's People” by W.W. Fereday)

• What Power! The victorious power of the people of God, when Christ takes His place at their head, is the theme of Balaam's final parable; but he concluded his third utterance with some reference to it: The King and His Kingdom rise up before the prophet's vision. “His King shall be higher than Agag, and His Kingdom shall be exalted.” The King here is Christ, higher than earth's highest. (“The Beauty and Order of God's People” by W.W. Fereday)
