Who Is Balaam Son of Beor?

BIBLE HISTORY DAILY has re-posted a series of essays on Balaam Son of Beor by Nathan Steinmeyer. Somehow I missed them the first time around, so here they are:

Who Is Balaam Son of Beor? Part One. Examining the figure of Balaam in the Bible

Who Is Balaam Son of Beor? Part Two. Examining the figure of Balaam in later traditions

Who Is Balaam Son of Beor? Part Three. Examining the figure of Balaam in archaeology

For many PaleoJudaica posts on Balaam and on the Balaam inscription from Tel Deir 'Alla (Deir Alla), see here and links, plus here.
