תלמוד על במדבר 23:7

Rebbi Aqiba explained: “Elihu Ben Barakhel the Buzite from the family Ram got angry.¹⁸³Job32:2.” Elihu that is Bileam. Ben Barakhel, who came to curse Israel but blessed them. The Buzite¹⁸⁴From the root בוז “to insult, to degrade”., whose prophecy was degraded, “who falls down open-eyed.¹⁸⁵Num. 24:4.” From the family Ram, “from Aram did Balaq lead me¹⁸⁶Num. 23:7..” Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah said to him, if he is he, then the Omnipresent already covered it up. If he is not he, in the future [world] he will argue with you. But Elihu that is Isaac. Ben Barakhel, the son whom God blessed, as it was said: “The Eternal had blessed him¹⁸⁷Gen. 26:12. In the Babli, Baba Batra15b, the consensus it that Elihu was Jewish; cf. Tosaphot s. v. אליהוא. Some commentators note that Gen.25:11 would have been a better quote since it mentions Isaac’s status as son and uses the term Elohim, contained in the name, and not YHWH, as in Gen.26:12.”. The Buzite¹⁸⁴From the root בוז “to insult, to degrade”., who degraded all temples of foreign worship at the moment he was bound on the altar. From the family Ram, the son of Abram.
