Baris 81:
According to Jewish legend, Balaam was made this powerful in order to prevent the non-Jewish tribes from saying: "If we had only had our own Moses, we would be as pious as the Jews."
Nevertheless, it is significant that, despite the apparently positive description of a Prophet blessing the Israelites, given in Numbers

Baris 95:
An interesting, but doubtful, emendation makes this poem describe the nun of Shamal, a state in northwest Syria. In the [[New Testament]], Balaam is cited as a type of avarice; for example in [[Wahyu 2#Ayat 14|Wahyu 2:14]] we read of false teachers at Pergamum who held the "teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication." Balaam has attracted much interest, alike from Jews, Christians and Muslims. [[Josephus]] paraphrases the story more so, and speaks of Balaam as the best prophet of his time, but with a disposition ill adapted to resist [[temptation]].<ref>[[Flavius Yosefus]], ''[[Antiquitates Iudaicae]]'', iv. 6, § 2</ref> [[Filo]] describes him as a great magician in the ''Life of Moses'' ;<ref>[[Philo]], ''De Vita Moysis'', i. 48: "a man renowned above all men for his skill as a diviner and a prophet, who foretold to the various nations important events, abundance and rain, or droughts and famine, inundations or pestilence."</ref> elsewhere he speaks of "the [[sophist]] Balaam, being," i.e. symbolizing "a vain crowd of contrary and warring opinions" and again as "a vain people" — both phrases being based on a mistaken etymology of the name Balaam.
Balaam also figures as an example of a false teacher in both [[2 Peter]] 2:15 and in [[Jude the Apostle|Jude]] 1:11. In both of these verses, Balaam is cited as an example of a false prophet motived by greed or avarice. These references harken to the Old Testament account of Balaam in Numbers
