Talmud for Numbers 23:21
לֹֽא־הִבִּ֥יט אָ֙וֶן֙ בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב וְלֹא־רָאָ֥ה עָמָ֖ל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהָיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וּתְרוּעַ֥ת מֶ֖לֶךְ בּֽוֹ׃
None hath beheld iniquity in Jacob, Neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel; The LORD his God is with him, And the shouting for the King is among them.
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Yehudah bar Zebida217A Galilean Amora of the second generation, possibly a student of Rav in Babylonia. He is also the author of the parallel statement in the Babli (12b). The statement of Rebbi Ḥuna is given in the Babli in the name of Rebbi Yose bar Abun. The reasons of Rebbi Yose bar Abun and Rebbi Eleazar in the Yerushalmi are missing in the Babli. The quotes in the Babli are all in the name of Galilean authorities.: It would have been logical that one also would have to recite the chapter of Balaq and Balaam every day218The blessings of Balaam, Num. 23:7–24:25.. Why does one not recite it? Not to incommodate the public too much. Rebbi Ḥuna said, because it mentions lying down and standing up219Num. 23:24, 24:9.. Rebbi Yose bar Abun said, because it contains the Exodus and God’s kingdom220Num. 24:8, 23:21.. Rebbi Eleazar said, because it is written in the Torah, in the Prophets, and in the Hagiographs.221In the Torah as indicated; in the Prophets Michah 6:5, in the Hagiographs Neḥemiah 13:2
