Zippor
VIEW:21 DATA:01-04-2020
ZIPPOR.Father of Balak (Num_22:3-4; Num_22:10; Num_22:16; Num_23:18, Jos_24:9, Jdg_11:25). The name, which doubtless in this case and in that of Zipporah has a totemistic significance, means sparrow.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
("a little bird".) Father of Balak (Num_22:2; Num_22:4). Tradition makes Moab and Midian one kingdom ruled by a king chosen alternately from each. Zippor is seemingly related to the Midianite name Zipporah; thus Balak may have been a Midianite. The language of Balaam about Balak's "house full of silver and gold" (Num_22:18) harmonizes curiously with the latest revelations concerning Midian's metallic wealth. (See METALS; PARAN.)
