Ballam's age Your question is an excellent one. I believe the answer is that according to the opinion that he was an advisor in Pharoh's court, he was indeed much older when he died. I believe that one opinion does preclude the other. Not uncommon in Torah. Thank you. Reply

Balaam's Age If Balaam (Bilaam) the wicked one was one of those who offered advice to Pharaoh (Sotah11a), helping him "Act wisely concerning it" (Ex.1.10), how could he have been 33 or 34 when he died?

Balaam the wicked's advice created the cicumstances in which Moshe Rabbeinu was born into. If everything from Numbers 20.1 and on records the events of the last year in the Wilderness, as the commentaries teach, shouldn't Balaam the wicked have been older than Moshe Rabbeinu? Reply
