Numbers 24 · Grade 2

A Star Will Come

Name Date

Read the Story

Balaam looked down from a hill. He saw God's people living in tents. He said, How goodly are your tents! God blessed His people again.

King Balak was very angry. He said, Go home! You were supposed to curse them. But Balaam said, I can only say what God says.

Then Balaam said something special. He said a star would come out of Jacob. That meant a great King would come from God's people. Christians believe this star points to Jesus (Revelation 22:16).
