Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29
Numbers 23:13 involves Balaam seeking a place from which to curse Israel, whereas 1 Samuel 15:29 indicates that God does not change His mind, suggesting a contradiction to the idea of seeking a different location to change the outcome.
1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:11
Numbers 23:13 shows Balak believing that a different location might allow for a different prophecy, while Isaiah 55:11 states that God's word does not return void, contradicting the idea that the location change would alter God's message.
Isaiah 55:11: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
Contradiction with Malachi 3:6
In Numbers 23:13, Balak believes moving Balaam might alter God's declaration, contradicted by Malachi 3:6, which emphasizes God's unchanging nature, hence His declarations are unalterable by human manipulation.
Malachi 3:6: For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Contradiction with James 1:17
Numbers 23:13 suggests that Balak expects a changeable outcome with relocation, conflicting with James 1:17, which asserts that God’s nature, and therefore His will, doesn't change.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:8
The implicit suggestion in Numbers 23:13 is that God's message can vary with location, contradicting Hebrews 13:8, which states that Jesus Christ (God) is the same, emphasizing consistency against the variability suggested by Balak’s actions.
Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
