And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people. (Numbers 22:41)
Literally, “Bamoth-baal,” probably identical with Bamoth in ch. 21:19. The name indicates that it was a heathen sanctuary. It is possible that Balak had the idea that Balaam’s curse would be more effective if he saw the Israelites as he cursed them.
The utmost part.
It may be that Balaam was able to see the whole of the camp, or, perhaps, only the portions nearest to the hill on which he stood. It is not clear which is intended.
