German TKW (Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker)
Während der Nacht aber kam Gott zu Bileam und sprach zu ihm: Wenn diese Männer gekommen sind, um dich zu berufen, so mache dich auf und geh mit ihnen; nur darfst du nichts anderes thun, als was ich dich heißen werde.
Was bedeutet das?
In this verse, God speaks to Balaam at night, telling him that if some men come to call him, he should go with them. However, Balaam must only do what God says, not what the men ask.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you're playing a game where your friend asks you to do something, but your parents tell you to do something else. You should always listen to what your parents say, just like Balaam should listen to God.
Historischer Hintergrund
The Book of Numbers was written by Moses around 1400 BC. The audience was the Israelites, and it was written during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. This verse is part of the story of Balaam, a prophet who was asked to curse the Israelites.
Anwendung für heute
This verse teaches us to prioritize God's will over others' requests. For instance, if your boss asks you to work overtime on a Sunday but you have plans to attend church, you should follow God's will and attend church.
