Balaam and Balak could not curse Israel. But they successful plotted to snare Israel in sin and brought God's righteous wrath and judgment upon them. Thankfully, Phinehas, the priest and chief officer amongst the priests (1Ch 9:20), stood up and purged the sin in the camp by spearing Zimri & Cozbi. He was jealous with a zeal for the Lord. And in his zeal, he turned away the wrath of God from the people of Israel. Our Great High Priest Jesus Christ also averts God's wrath due upon sinners like us, but not by taking it out on His enemies, but by absorbing it on Himself. He was nailed and then speared on his side. He now stands before God pleading for us. He purged us from our sins by His zeal for God's name.
