Summary
How much did the figure of Balaam change from the oldest available source to the youngest? In this work, Jonathan Miles Robker examines Balaam, a kind of prophet who appears in the Bible and, uniquely for such biblical prophetic figures, even in an ancient Near Eastern inscription, and contrasts the distinct information about him presented in the various sources.
