The king of Moav behaved illogically in refusing Am Yisrael entry into
his land. He knew they were forbidden from waging war with his nation.
He sought the advice of Bilaam the rasha as to how to eliminate this thorn
in his side. And Bilaam, for his part, also acted most illogically. He knew
that Hashem would never allow him to curse His nation. Nevertheless, that
was what he set out to do. The behavior of these two wicked men should
provide us with a lesson in the importance of calculating our deeds.

“This is the decree of the Torah, which Hashem

has commanded, saying”
(Bamidbar 19:2)

“This is the teaching regarding a man if he will

die in a tent”
(ibid. vs. 14)

“Then Moshe raised his arm and struck the

rock with his staff twice; abundant water came
forth, and the assembly and their animals
drank. Hashem said to Moshe and to Aharon:
Because you did not believe in Me to sanctify
Me in the eyes of the Children of Israel,
therefore you will not bring this congregation to
the Land that I have given them”

(Bamidbar 20:11-12)
