Contradiction with Exodus 33:20
Contradicts by suggesting no one can see God and live, whereas in Numbers 23:6, Balaam directly engages in a divine encounter.
Exodus 33:20: And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:28
Emphasizes God's incomprehensibility and unsearchability, contrasting with the direct communication and understanding Balaam receives.
Isaiah 40:28: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
Contradiction with James 1:5
Encourages asking God for wisdom, contrasting Balaam's restrained form of divine engagement in Numbers 23:6.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
