And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to Balak,H1111 BuildH1129 me hereH2088 sevenH7651 altars,H4196 and prepareH3559 me hereH2088 sevenH7651 oxenH6499 and sevenH7651 rams.H352
2
And BalakH1111 didH6213 as BalaamH1109 had spoken;H1696 and BalakH1111 and BalaamH1109 offeredH5927 onH5921 every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ram.H352
3
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to Balak,H1111 StandH3320 by your burntH5930 offering, and I will go:H3212 peradventureH194 the LORDH3068 will comeH7136 to meetH7125 me: and whateverH1697 H4100 he showsH7200 me I will tellH5046 you. And he wentH3212 to an highH8205 place.
4
And GodH430 metH7136 Balaam:H1109 and he saidH559 to him, I have preparedH6186 sevenH7651 altars,H4196 and I have offeredH5927 on every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ram.H352
5
And the LORDH3068 putH7760 a wordH1697 in Balaam'sH1109 mouth,H6310 and said,H559 ReturnH7725 to Balak,H1111 and thusH3541 you shall speak.H1696
6
And he returnedH7725 to him, and, see,H2009 he stoodH5324 by his burntH5930 sacrifice, he, and allH3605 the princesH8269 of Moab.H4124
7
And he tookH5375 up his parable,H4912 and said,H559 BalakH1111 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 has broughtH5148 me from Aram,H758 out of the mountainsH2042 of the east,H6924 saying, Come,H3212 curseH779 me Jacob,H3290 and come,H3212 defyH2194 Israel.H3478
8
HowH4100 shall I curse,H5344 whom GodH410 has not cursed?H6895 or howH4100 shall I defy,H2194 whom the LORDH3068 has not defied?H2194
9
For from the topH7218 of the rocksH6697 I seeH7200 him, and from the hillsH1389 I beholdH7789 him: see,H2005 the peopleH5971 shall dwellH7931 alone,H909 and shall not be reckonedH2803 among the nations.H1471
10
WhoH4310 can countH4487 the dustH6083 of Jacob,H3290 and the numberH4557 of the fourthH7255 part of Israel?H3478 Let me dieH4191 the deathH4194 of the righteous,H3477 and let my lastH319 end be likeH3644 his!
11
And BalakH1111 saidH559 to Balaam,H1109 WhatH4100 have you doneH6213 to me? I tookH3947 you to curseH6895 my enemies,H341 and, behold,H2009 you have blessedH1288 them altogether.
12
And he answeredH6030 and said,H559 Must I not take heedH8104 to speakH1696 that whichH834 the LORDH3068 has putH7760 in my mouth?H6310
13
And BalakH1111 saidH559 to him, Come,H3212 I prayH4994 you, with me to anotherH312 place,H4725 from from whereH834 H8033 you may seeH7200 them: you shall seeH7200 but the utmostH7097 part of them, and shall not seeH7200 them all:H3605 and curseH6895 me them from there.H8033
14
And he broughtH3947 him into the fieldH7704 of Zophim,H6839 to the topH7218 of Pisgah,H6449 and builtH1129 sevenH7651 altars,H4196 and offeredH5927 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 onH5921 every altar.H4196
15
And he saidH559 to Balak,H1111 StandH3320 hereH3541 by your burntH5930 offering, while I meetH7136 the LORD yonder.H3541
16
And the LORDH3068 metH7136 Balaam,H1109 and putH7760 a wordH1697 in his mouth,H6310 and said,H559 GoH7725 againH7725 to Balak,H1111 and sayH1696 thus.H3541
17
And when he cameH935 to him, behold,H2009 he stoodH5324 by his burntH5930 offering, and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 with him. And BalakH1111 saidH559 to him, WhatH4100 has the LORDH3068 spoken?H1696
18
And he tookH5375 up his parable,H4912 and said,H559 RiseH6965 up, Balak,H1111 and hear;H8085 listenH238 to me, you sonH1121 of Zippor:H6834
19
GodH410 is not a man,H376 that he should lie;H3576 neither the sonH1121 of man,H120 that he should repent:H5162 has he said,H559 and shall he not doH6213 it? or has he spoken,H1696 and shall he not make it good?H6965
20
Behold,H2009 I have receivedH3947 commandment to bless:H1288 and he has blessed;H1288 and I cannotH3808 reverseH7725 it.
21
He has not beheldH5027 iniquityH205 in Jacob,H3290 neitherH3808 has he seenH7200 perversenessH5999 in Israel:H3478 the LORDH3068 his GodH430 is with him, and the shoutH8643 of a kingH4428 is among them.
22
GodH410 broughtH3318 them out of Egypt;H4714 he has as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicorn.H7214
23
Surely there is noH3808 enchantmentH5172 against Jacob,H3290 neitherH3808 is there any divinationH7081 against Israel:H3478 according to this timeH6256 it shall be saidH559 of JacobH3290 and of Israel,H3478 WhatH4100 has GodH410 worked!H6466
24
Behold,H2005 the peopleH5971 shall riseH6965 up as a greatH3833 lion,H3833 and liftH5375 up himself as a young lion:H738 he shall not lieH7901 downH7901 untilH5704 he eatH398 of the prey,H2964 and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the slain.H2491
25
And BalakH1111 saidH559 to Balaam,H1109 NeitherH1571 H3808 curseH6895 them at all, norH3808 blessH1288 them at all.
26
But BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to Balak,H1111 ToldH1696 not I you, saying,H559 AllH3605 that the LORDH3068 speaks,H1696 that I must do?H6213
27
And BalakH1111 saidH559 to Balaam,H1109 Come,H3212 I prayH4994 you, I will bringH3947 you to anotherH312 place;H4725 peradventureH194 it will pleaseH3477 H5869 GodH430 that you may curseH6895 me them from there.H8033
28
And BalakH1111 broughtH3947 BalaamH1109 to the topH7218 of Peor,H6465 that looksH8259 towardH5921 H6440 Jeshimon.H3452
29
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to Balak,H1111 BuildH1129 me hereH2088 sevenH7651 altars,H4196 and prepareH3559 me hereH2088 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 rams.H352
30
And BalakH1111 didH6213 as BalaamH1109 had said,H559 and offeredH5927 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 onH5921 every altar.H4196
