| Numbers 24:3 | He took up his parable, and said: Balaam, the son of Beor, hath said: The man hath said, whose eye is stopped up: | Up. The same term only occurs again, (Lamentations 3:8,) where it may have the same sense, though the Septuagint etc., give it here a quite opposite meaning, "the man whose eyes are open," the prophet. But Balaam alludes to his not being able to see the angel as soon as his ass, as he does, ver. 4., and chap. 22:31. (Calmet) |
