More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Israelites' journey after forty years in the wilderness, the story explores the tension between King Balak of Moab and the prophet Balaam. Fearing the Israelites' might, Balak attempts to manipulate Balaam into cursing them for a reward. However, divine intervention occurs as an angel prevents Balaam from fulfilling Balak's wishes, compelling him to convey only God's message. The narrative raises questions about obedience, faith, and the power of divine will as Balaam faces the dilemma of blessing or cursing the Israelites.
