Numbers 22:17-19

JBS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ porque sin duda te honraré mucho, y haré todo lo que me dijeres; ven, pues ahora, maldíceme a este pueblo. ¹⁸ Y Balaam respondió, y dijo a los siervos de Balac: Aunque Balac me diera su casa llena de plata y oro, no puedo traspasar la palabra del SEÑOR mi Dios, para hacer cosa chica ni grande. ¹⁹ Os ruego, por tanto, ahora, que reposéis aquí esta noche, para que yo sepa qué me vuelve a decir el SEÑOR.

Numbers 22:6
curse me.An erroneous opinion prevailed, both in those days and in after ages, that some men had the power, by the help of their gods, to devote, not only particular persons, but cities and whole armies, to destruction. This they are said to have done sometimes by words of imprecation; of which there was a set form among some people, which \u65533 schines calls [diorizomenen aran,] "the determinate curse." Macrobius has a whole chapter on this subject. He gives us two of the ancient forms used in reference to the destruction of Carthage; the first, which was only pronounced by the dictator, or general, was to call over the protecting deities to their side, and the other to devote the city to destruction, which they were supposed to have abandoned. The Romans held, that no city would be taken till its tutelary god had forsaken it; or if it could be taken, it would be unlawful, as it would be sacrilege to lead the gods into captivity. Virgil intimates, that Troy was destroyed because {Excessere omnes adytis, arisque relictis dii, quibus imperium hoc steterat,} "All the gods, by whose assistance the empire had hitherto been preserved, forsook their altars and temples." See more on this subject in Dr. A. Clarke, Bp. Patrick, and Burder's Oriental Customs, No. 734.
