“Archaeologists Found Balaam’s Name in a 2,800-Year-Old Inscription”

Описание: In 1967, archaeologists uncovered a remarkable inscription in Deir Alla, Jordan. Written on an ancient wall, the text mentions a mysterious figure: “Balaam son of Beor, a seer of the gods.”

For readers of the Bible, that name is immediately familiar.

In the Book of Numbers (22–24), Balaam son of Beor is described as a prophet who is summoned by the Moabite king Balak to curse the people of Israel. Instead, Balaam declares blessings over Israel after encountering the angel of the Lord.

But could this biblical figure also appear in an ancient inscription outside the Bible?

The Deir Alla inscription dates to the 8th century BC and records visions attributed to Balaam, describing divine messages and prophetic warnings. While the text differs in some details from the biblical account, the appearance of the same name and title has fascinated historians and archaeologists for decades.

In this video, we explore:

• The discovery of the Deir Alla Balaam inscription
• What the ancient text actually says
• How it compares with the biblical account in Numbers

Could this be evidence that the biblical Balaam was known beyond the pages of Scripture?
