| Resumo: | In its final form, the Balaam narrative alludes to a number of different topics related to divine communication: Balaam comes into contact with the divine sphere through an encounter with God and God’s messenger, by an audition, by consulting omens and finally by a “real” vision. Thus, there is a certain progression and dynamic in the way that Balaam receives the message of God. All in all, Balaam is portrayed as a diviner able to predict the future, though ineffective as a sorcerer who could manipulate God’s will. This seems to be the disastrous misunderstanding of Balak. Thus, the Balaam narrative is mainly interested in the proper concept of God. One final objective is to demonstrate that God’s will is unchangeable and that a true prophet can only speak what is revealed to him by God. Die Bileamerzählung stellt bei synchroner Lesung verschiedene Weisen einer Kommunikation mit Gott vor: Bileam erreicht den Kontakt zu Gott durch eine Begegnung mit Gott bzw. dem Boten Gottes, durch eine Audition, durch Omenschau sowie durch eine „reale“ Vision. Darüber hinaus lässt sich ein Fortschritt bzw. eine Dynamik in der Art und Weise feststellen, wie Bileam eine Botschaft Gottes erhält. Insgesamt wird Bileam als Wahrsager dargestellt, der die Zukunft vorhersagen kann. Er kann jedoch nicht den Willen Gottes als Zauberer effektiv beeinflussen, was Balak in verheerender Weise missversteht. Dementsprechend beschäftigt sich die Bileamerzählung in erster Linie mit einem angemessenen Gottesbild. Sie will zeigen, dass der Wille Gottes unveränderlich ist und folglich ein wahrer Prophet nur das wiedergeben kann, was ihm zuvor von Gott mitgeteilt worden ist. |
