Where it appears

Revelation · 1

  1. Revelation 2:14 Βαλὰκ Balak

    But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.

    Here: The king of Moab who hired Balaam to curse Israel (Numbers 22:2–6). The dative can mean Balaam taught Balak, or that he taught on Balak's behalf.
