Βαλαάμ, ὁ, indecl., (in Sept. for oy, ace. to Gesenius [ perhaps” ] fr. 53 and Dy non-populus, i. e. foreign ; ace. to Jo. Simonis equiv. to Dy » 3 a swallowing up of the people; in Joseph. 6 Badayos), Balaam (or Bileam), a native of Pethor a city of Mesopotamia, endued by Jehovah with prophetic power. He was hired by Balak (see Βαλάκ) to curse the Israelites ; and influenced by the love of reward, he wished to gratify Balak; but he was compelled by Jehovah’s power to bless them (Num. xxii— xxiv. ; Deut. xxiii. 5 sq.; Josh. xiii. 22; xxiv. 9; Mie. vi. 5). Hence the later Jews saw in him a most abandoned deceiver: Rev. ii. 14; 2 Pet.ii.15; Jude 11. Cf. Win. RWB. [and BB.DD.] 5. v.
