In reference to a prophecy spoken by this man, Rabbi Akiva gave a Messianic claimant the name Bar Kokhba. That prophecy assets that “a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth.” According to the Talmud, this man told a king to set up tents filled with harlots to make Israelites worship the idol Baal-peor. After this man does not see an (*) angel blocking him on a road, he hits the animal that he is riding on three times. Balak, the king of Moab, becomes increasing frustrated at this man when he repeatedly blesses the Israelites that he was asked to curse. For 10 points, name this man who appears in the Book of Numbers and is chastised by his own donkey.
