The number 22, which is double eleven (which symbolizes disorder and chaos), can mean a concentration of disorganization. Jeroboam I, the very first king of Israel after the kingdom split in two in 930 B.C., reigned for 22 official years (21 actual years from 930 to 909 B.C.).
King Ahab, consider the worst Israelite king, also reigned for the same length of time (22 official but 21 actual years, 874 to 853 B.C.) as Jeroboam. King Amon, who ruled for only two years and is consider one of the worst kings over Judah, began his rule at the age of twenty-two.
The Hebrew alphabet is made up of 22 letters, which are used to compose the Word of God. The word of God is called a lamp (Psalms 119:105), thus it is the light by which we are to live.

5
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
Numbers 22;2 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Exodus 21:22-25
22
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Mt 5:38
25
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
The meaning of the number 23 in the bible; Number 23 Biblical Meaning: Transformation. The end. Number 23 is one of the most interesting numbers in the Bible for me. It symbolizes 2 of the most beautiful things on earth, the end of something old, and transformation. The number 23 derives part of its meaning from the fact that Adam and Eve produced twenty-three daughters according to the first century historian Josephus (Jewish tradition).

Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father, thank You for the insights we gain from the story of Balaam and his little donkey. Thank You for showing us how destructive a love of money and a lust for wealth can be… blinding us to the truth and impeding our spiritual discernment and understanding.
For those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
