1 # And Balaam <01109> said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Build <01129> (8798) me here seven <07651> altars <04196>, and prepare <03559> (8685) me here seven <07651> oxen <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352> .
2 And Balak <01111> did <06213> (8799) as Balaam <01109> had spoken <01696> (8765); and Balak <01111> and Balaam <01109> offered <05927> (8686) on every altar <04196> a bullock <06499> and a ram <0352>.
3 And Balaam <01109> said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Stand <03320> (8690) by thy burnt offering <05930>, and I will go <03212> (8799): peradventure the LORD <03068> will come <07136> (8735) to meet <07125> (8800) me: and whatsoever <01697> he sheweth <07200> (8686) me I will tell <05046> (8689) thee. And he went <03212> (8799) to an high place <08205>.
4 And God <0430> met <07136> (8735) Balaam <01109>: and he said <0559> (8799) unto him, I have prepared <06186> (8804) seven <07651> altars <04196>, and I have offered <05927> (8686) upon every altar <04196> a bullock <06499> and a ram <0352>.
5 And the LORD <03068> put <07760> (8799) a word <01697> in Balaam's <01109> mouth <06310>, and said <0559> (8799), Return <07725> (8798) unto Balak <01111>, and thus thou shalt speak <01696> (8762).
6 And he returned <07725> (8799) unto him, and, lo, he stood <05324> (8737) by his burnt sacrifice <05930>, he, and all the princes <08269> of Moab <04124>.
7 And he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799), Balak <01111> the king <04428> of Moab <04124> hath brought <05148> (8686) me from Aram <0758>, out of the mountains <02042> of the east <06924> , saying, Come <03212> (8798), curse <0779> (8798) me Jacob <03290>, and come <03212> (8798), defy <02194> (8798) Israel <03478>.
8 How <04100> shall I curse <05344> (8799), whom God <0410> hath not cursed <06895> (8804)? or how shall I defy <02194> (8799), whom the LORD <03068> hath not defied <02194> (8804)?
9 For from the top <07218> of the rocks <06697> I see <07200> (8799) him, and from the hills <01389> I behold <07789> (8799) him: lo, the people <05971> shall dwell <07931> (8799) alone <0910>, and shall not be reckoned <02803> (8691) among the nations <01471>.
10 Who can count <04487> (8804) the dust <06083> of Jacob <03290>, and the number <04557> of the fourth <07255> part of Israel <03478>? Let me die <04191> (8799) <05315> the death <04194> of the righteous <03477>, and let my last <0319> end be like his!
11 And Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto Balaam <01109>, What hast thou done <06213> (8804) unto me? I took <03947> (8804) thee to curse <06895> (8800) mine enemies <0341> (8802), and, behold, thou hast blessed <01288> (8765) them altogether <01288> (8763).
12 And he answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), Must I not take heed <08104> (8799) to speak <01696> (8763) that which the LORD <03068> hath put <07760> (8799) in my mouth <06310>?
13 # And Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Come <03212> (8798), I pray thee, with me unto another <0312> place <04725>, from whence thou mayest see <07200> (8799) them: thou shalt see <07200> (8799) but <0657> the utmost <07097> part of them, and shalt not see <07200> (8799) them all: and curse <06895> (8798) me them from thence.
14 And he brought <03947> (8799) him into the field <07704> of Zophim <06839> (8677) <06822> (8802), to the top <07218> of Pisgah <06449>, and built <01129> (8799) seven <07651> altars <04196>, and offered <05927> (8686) a bullock <06499> and a ram <0352> on every altar <04196>.
15 And he said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Stand <03320> (8690) here <03541> by thy burnt offering <05930>, while I meet <07136> (8735) the LORD yonder <03541>.
16 And the LORD <03068> met <07136> (8735) Balaam <01109>, and put <07760> (8799) a word <01697> in his mouth <06310>, and said <0559> (8799), Go again <07725> (8798) unto Balak <01111>, and say <01696> (8762) thus.
17 And when he came <0935> (8799) to him, behold, he stood <05324> (8737) by his burnt offering <05930>, and the princes <08269> of Moab <04124> with him. And Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto him, What hath the LORD <03068> spoken <01696> (8765)?
18 And he took up <05375> (8799) his parable <04912>, and said <0559> (8799), Rise up <06965> (8798), Balak <01111>, and hear <08085> (8798); hearken <0238> (8685) unto me, thou son <01121> of Zippor <06834> :
19 God <0410> is not a man <0376>, that he should lie <03576> (8762); neither the son <01121> of man <0120>, that he should repent <05162> (8691): hath he said <0559> (8804), and shall he not do <06213> (8799) it ? or hath he spoken <01696> (8765), and shall he not make it good <06965> (8686)?
20 Behold, I have received <03947> (8804) commandment to bless <01288> (8763): and he hath blessed <01288> (8765); and I cannot reverse <07725> (8686) it.
21 He hath not beheld <05027> (8689) iniquity <0205> in Jacob <03290>, neither hath he seen <07200> (8804) perverseness <05999> in Israel <03478>: the LORD <03068> his God <0430> is with him, and the shout <08643> of a king <04428> is among them.
22 God <0410> brought them out <03318> (8688) of Egypt <04714>; he hath as it were the strength <08443> of an unicorn <07214>.
23 Surely there is no enchantment <05173> against Jacob <03290>, neither is there any divination <07081> against Israel <03478>: according to this time <06256> it shall be said <0559> (8735) of Jacob <03290> and of Israel <03478>, What hath God <0410> wrought <06466> (8804)!
24 Behold, the people <05971> shall rise up <06965> (8799) as a great lion <03833>, and lift up <05375> (8691) himself as a young lion <0738>: he shall not lie down <07901> (8799) until he eat <0398> (8799) of the prey <02964> , and drink <08354> (8799) the blood <01818> of the slain <02491>.
25 And Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto Balaam <01109>, Neither curse <05344> (8799) them at all <06895> (8800), nor bless <01288> (8762) them at all <01288> (8763).
26 But Balaam <01109> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Told <01696> (8765) not I thee, saying <0559> (8800), All that the LORD <03068> speaketh <01696> (8762), that I must do <06213> (8799)?
27 And Balak <01111> said <0559> (8799) unto Balaam <01109>, Come <03212> (8798), I pray thee, I will bring <03947> (8799) thee unto another <0312> place <04725>; peradventure it will please <03474> (8799) <05869> God <0430> that thou mayest curse <06895> (8804) me them from thence.
28 And Balak <01111> brought <03947> (8799) Balaam <01109> unto the top <07218> of Peor <06465>, that looketh <08259> (8737) toward <06440> Jeshimon <03452>.
29 And Balaam <01109> said <0559> (8799) unto Balak <01111>, Build <01129> (8798) me here seven <07651> altars <04196>, and prepare <03559> (8685) me here seven <07651> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>.
30 And Balak <01111> did <06213> (8799) as Balaam <01109> had said <0559> (8804), and offered <05927> (8686) a bullock <06499> and a ram <0352> on every altar <04196>.
