Reply To: Bilaam

Perhaps the defense is:

Moshe and Bilaam were prophets who reflected the people whom they came from. You were given a prophet who reflected the people to whom he was given to exactly the same extent that Moshe reflected the people to whom he was given.

If that’s the case, however, then there’s no need for the defense. The point was that if HKBH gave a non-Jew such powers, then there would be the chance that they might accept the Torah. However, if the prophet is merely a reflection of the people, then why would they be able to make the argument of “if we only had…?”
