Zippor

(“a little bird”.) Father of Balak (Num 22:2; Num 22:4). 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” (Num 22:18) harmonizes curiously with the latest revelations concerning Midian’s metallic wealth. (See METALS; PARAN.)
