[Avodah] Questions about Bilaam

[Marty Bluke]

Bilaam was a Navi who chazal say was as great in nevua as Moshe Rabenu. If
so, how was he such a rasha? Why did he want to curse hashems nation, the
Jewish people? Why did he think he would succeed?
The Gemara says that Bilaam knew the exact moment that hashem got angry
every day and he planned on cursing Bnei Yisrael at that exact moment. The
Gemara comments that his strategy would have worked except that during that
time hashem didn’t get angry. Why did hashem not get angry? Why couldn’t
hashem get angry and still not curse Bnei Yisrael?
