“And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.”
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at Ir-moab, on the boundary of the Arnon, at the farthest point of his territory — Balak exits to greet Balaam personally; the honor he shows reflects the importance of the engagement. He meets Balaam at the Arnon boundary, the farthest northern point of his kingdom. Balak's eagerness is evident; he has invested tremendous resources in securing Balaam's services.
