"who were evidently in the act of copulation." What in the text of Numbers indicates this? Tim Long 17:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The text is not explicit, the fact that Phineas could spear them both is taken as an indication that they were physically next to each other. --dvunkannon 12:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Wording is unclear

[edit]

I have no idea what "Back references to the event occur ..." means. I presume "black" is some special biblical term? A commentator? A type of verse? Anyway, it should be clarified for lay-person readers. --Noleander (talk) 23:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A back reference is a reference from later in the book back to the original event. --dvunkannon 12:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

The syntax and grammar of this article is abominable. The sentence structure is disorganized and disjointed, and needs to be rewritten by someone with a competent command of the English language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.1.8.201 (talk) 20:35, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

[edit]

Howdy! I just noticed that the section "Revelation 2:14 implies that after Balaam had blessed Israel, he later went back and influenced Balak to corrupt Israel through seducing them with women into idolatry: "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication" (King James Version)" wasn't backed up by any sources outside of the scriptural quote, and so I put an Original Research inline in the text pending further review. Feel free to remove it if a more concrete source is found other than a raw quote from the KJV Bible.
