HOW DID BALAAM KNOW GOD ?

All of Abraham's dependence's moved to Egypt with Joesph and where in bondage 430 years. When they arrived at the Land of Moab which were Lot's Descendants. The children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.  And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.  He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:    Numbers 4:1-7   How did Balaam know The Father ? How would he know to build and Alter to hear from The Lord. Peter wrote Lot was a JUST MAN even the people in Sodom said :  "And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a(JUDGE): now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.  Gen. 19:9  Even the people of  Sodom said Lot TAUGHT WHAT WAS RIGHT. Moab is Lot's descendants that he had with his daughters. MOAB KNEW WHAT WAS RIGHT BECAUSE LOT TAUGHT THEM. Balaam and Moab knew what was right but CHOSE TO BE EVIL.  I CAN'T SAY EVERYONE KNOWS THE FATHER, BUT THOSE OF US THAT KNOW TO DO RIGHT AND DON'T WE BE COME JUST LIKE BALAAM. WE SIN ANYWAY JUST GIVE US SOME STUFF ?
