By Alana Suskin Verified| Baltimore Jewish Times Verified By Rabbi Alana SuskinIn Parshat Balak, speech plays a central role. Balak, king of Moav, fears the mass of Israelites moving toward his territory: “Now this horde will lick clean all that is about us as an ox licks up the grass of the field.”He asks the prophet Bilam to curse the Israelites to prevent this. God tells Bilam not to go. After some back and forth, God tells Bilam: Fine, go if you must, but do as I tell you. But God is angry with Bilam.
