Parashat Balak – Opening Questions

Why was Hashem concerned lest Bilaam curse the nation of Israel? Could He not have simply ensured that the curse not be fulfilled?
What is the meaning of Bilaam's blessings that Israel is "a nation that dwells alone"?
Was Zimri's sin with the Midianite woman an act of promiscuity or ritual harloty? Was Pinchas' reaction an act of vigilante justice, or was he merely following orders?
