Subjects in this Topic:
("a little bird".) Father of Balak (; ). 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" () harmonizes curiously with the latest revelations concerning Midian's metallic wealth. (See METALS; PARAN.)
