Bilam Ben Beor Prophet Dies By Sword

Bilam the prophet and magician, who recently gained notoriety for his failed attempt at cursing the Nation of Israel, has been killed during a bloody battle between Israel and Midyan.

Ben Be'or is the greatest non-Jewish prophet in history, whose name is mentioned in Torah 55 times. A man of many words, he will long be remembered for composing the opening words of Mah Tovu, the classic morning prayer.

No memorial services will be held for Bilaam, whose very name means Belo Am, “without a nation.”
