“And the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.”
And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, 'Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak' — God places a word directly into Balaam's mouth; the word is God's to give and Balaam's to speak. The mechanism is divine infusion; Balaam will not craft his own speech but will channel God's message. The pattern established by the donkey incident is confirmed: Balaam is a vessel for God's word, constrained by divine will.
