Actually if you read Deuteronomy 23:3-4 also, you'll see that it says that "Balaam was hired to pronounce a curse on them" Then in verse 5, "God turned the curse into a blessing."
And then reading through Numbers 22 & 23, that is what happened.
god didn't turn any curse into a blessing because balaam never asked for a curse. balaam asked for a blessing and told the king that he wouldn't put a curse on those people

and then he got killed

But the other guys contracted him into cursing the Israelites. That's the cursing that was talked about that was turned into a blessing since Balaam followed what God told him to do instead of the other guys. Which is echoed again in Joshua, "9. When Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, prepared to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam son of Beor to put a curse on you. 10. But I would not listen to Balaam, so he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you out of his hand."

And when he's blessing them he says that those are words that the LORD has put in his mouth.

Though apparently Balaam did later tell the those guys how to entice the Israelites to be unfaithful to God and that's actually why he was killed.

I assume you kept bringing up his death and trying to link it to the first situation there but that wasn't really the case.

It's supposed to be an explanation of the rules and grounding of my project, not something that's a magnum opus. Jeez.


That doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement.

I doubt it's about HATE for women...it is definitely a text for feminists to look at because of how disregarded and downtrodden women are, but I don't think Hamlet HATES the women in the text because they're women. He hates them because of what they've gotten involved in. The sad part is that they couldn't help it since women really had no rights at all back then, especially a woman in Ophelia's position who was so greatly manipulated by her father whom she loved dearly.

But, I already wrote a whole paper on that subject, and it's irrelevant to this conversation.


Doesn't Hamlet think that women play dumb whenever they do something?
