Commentary

Pulpit Commentary
Num 24:14

I will advertise thee. àÄéòÈöÀêÈ has properly the meaning "advise", but it seems to have here the same subordinate sense of giving information which "advise" has with us. The Vulgate here has followed the surmise of the Jewish commentators, who saw nothing in Balaam but the arch-enemy of their race, and has actually altered the text into "dabo consilium quid populus tuus populo huic faciat" (cf. Num 31:16).
