("a little bird".) Father of Balak (Numbers 22:2; Numbers 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" (Numbers 22:18) harmonizes curiously with the latest revelations concerning Midian's metallic wealth. (See METALS ; PARAN .)
