A Star and a Scepter (Digital Download) by Clayton Van Huss

Go beyond the familiar Sunday school account of Balaam and discover the deeper meaning behind one of the Bible’s most remarkable prophecies. In A Star and a Scepter, archaeologist and Bible scholar Clayton Van Huss examines the story of Balaam through the lens of ancient Near Eastern archaeology and the material culture of Late Bronze Age Israel.

While many remember Balaam as the prophet with the talking donkey, this study reveals how Numbers 24:17 contains a powerful messianic prophecy centered on the Star and the Scepter. Drawing on archaeological evidence and biblical scholarship, Van Huss explores how the original audience would have understood Balaam’s words, offering fresh insight into their prophetic significance and their connection to Israel’s coming Messiah.
