* parable.
The word {mashal,} which as a verb is to rule, have authority,
and also to compare, as a noun signifies whatever is expressed
in parabolic or figurative language. All these oracular
speeches of Balaam are in hemistich metre in the original.
They are highly dignified and sublime; and may be considered
as immediate poetic productions of the Spirit of God.
