Excerpt from Balaam: An Exposition and a Study
These two methods, therefore, I propose to apply. By a careful study of all that Holy Scripture records of him, I hope we may get the facts of the case, the quantities of the problem, more clearly stated; while by running a comparison between him and other inspired men of a similar type, I trust we may find that the problem is a much more common one than we have been wont to suppose, that his case, which has been assumed to be without a parallel, is not so unique, and therefore not so difficult and perplexing, as it seems: even though, after all is done, we should have to confess of Balaam, as Schlegel of Hamlet, that he is an enigma, resembling those irrational equations in which a fraction of unknown magnitude always remains that will admit of no solution.
