In this episode of Torah Pearls, Ross, Jono, and Ezra explore the strange and layered story of Balaam in Balak (Numbers 22–25). They discuss the Deir Alla inscription’s possible link to the biblical prophet, contradictions in the narrative (including God’s changing commands and a talking donkey), and the angel identified as a “Satan.” The team unpacks the sin of Peor, the blurred lines between Moabite and Midianite women, and how the Moses Scroll may preserve an earlier version of events—one that challenges priestly additions and clarifies confusing commands.
