1And Balaam1109 said559 unto Balak1111, Build1129 me here seven7651 altars4196, and prepare3559 me here seven7651 oxen6499 and seven7651 rams352.
2And Balak1111 did6213 as Balaam1109 had spoken1696; and Balak1111 and Balaam1109 offered5927 on every altar4196 a bullock6499 and a ram352.
3And Balaam1109 said559 unto Balak1111, Stand3320 by thy burnt offering5930, and I will go3212: peradventure the LORD3068 will come7136 to meet7125 me: and whatsoever1697 he sheweth7200 me I will tell5046 thee. And he went3212 to an high place8205.
4And God430 met7136 Balaam1109: and he said559 unto him, I have prepared6186 seven7651 altars4196, and I have offered5927 upon every altar4196 a bullock6499 and a ram352.
5And the LORD3068 put7760 a word1697 in Balaam's1109 mouth6310, and said559, Return7725 unto Balak1111, and thus thou shalt speak1696.
6And he returned7725 unto him, and, lo, he stood5324 by his burnt sacrifice5930, he, and all the princes8269 of Moab4124.
7And he took up5375 his parable4912, and said559, Balak1111 the king4428 of Moab4124 hath brought5148 me from Aram758, out of the mountains2042 of the east6924, saying, Come3212, curse779 me Jacob3290, and come3212, defy2194 Israel3478.
8How4100 shall I curse5344, whom God410 hath not cursed6895? or how shall I defy2194, whom the LORD3068 hath not defied2194?
9For from the top7218 of the rocks6697 I see7200 him, and from the hills1389 I behold7789 him: lo, the people5971 shall dwell7931 alone910, and shall not be reckoned2803 among the nations1471.
10Who can count4487 the dust6083 of Jacob3290, and the number4557 of the fourth7255 part of Israel3478? Let me die4191 5315 the death4194 of the righteous3477, and let my last319 end be like his!
11And Balak1111 said559 unto Balaam1109, What hast thou done6213 unto me? I took3947 thee to curse6895 mine enemies341, and, behold, thou hast blessed1288 them altogether1288.
12And he answered6030 and said559, Must I not take heed8104 to speak1696 that which the LORD3068 hath put7760 in my mouth6310?
13And Balak1111 said559 unto him, Come3212, I pray thee, with me unto another312 place4725, from whence thou mayest see7200 them: thou shalt see7200 but657 the utmost7097 part of them, and shalt not see7200 them all: and curse6895 me them from thence.
14And he brought3947 him into the field7704 of Zophim6839 6822, to the top7218 of Pisgah6449, and built1129 seven7651 altars4196, and offered5927 a bullock6499 and a ram352 on every altar4196.
15And he said559 unto Balak1111, Stand3320 here3541 by thy burnt offering5930, while I meet7136 the LORD yonder3541.
16And the LORD3068 met7136 Balaam1109, and put7760 a word1697 in his mouth6310, and said559, Go again7725 unto Balak1111, and say1696 thus.
17And when he came935 to him, behold, he stood5324 by his burnt offering5930, and the princes8269 of Moab4124 with him. And Balak1111 said559 unto him, What hath the LORD3068 spoken1696?
18And he took up5375 his parable4912, and said559, Rise up6965, Balak1111, and hear8085; hearken238 unto me, thou son1121 of Zippor6834:
19God410 is not a man376, that he should lie3576; neither the son1121 of man120, that he should repent5162: hath he said559, and shall he not do6213 it? or hath he spoken1696, and shall he not make it good6965?
20Behold, I have received3947 commandment to bless1288: and he hath blessed1288; and I cannot reverse7725 it.
21He hath not beheld5027 iniquity205 in Jacob3290, neither hath he seen7200 perverseness5999 in Israel3478: the LORD3068 his God430 is with him, and the shout8643 of a king4428 is among them.
22God410 brought them out3318 of Egypt4714; he hath as it were the strength8443 of an unicorn7214.
23Surely there is no enchantment5173 against Jacob3290, neither is there any divination7081 against Israel3478: according to this time6256 it shall be said559 of Jacob3290 and of Israel3478, What hath God410 wrought6466!
24Behold, the people5971 shall rise up6965 as a great lion3833, and lift up5375 himself as a young lion738: he shall not lie down7901 until he eat398 of the prey2964, and drink8354 the blood1818 of the slain2491.
25And Balak1111 said559 unto Balaam1109, Neither curse5344 them at all6895, nor bless1288 them at all1288.
26But Balaam1109 answered6030 and said559 unto Balak1111, Told1696 not I thee, saying559, All that the LORD3068 speaketh1696, that I must do6213?
27And Balak1111 said559 unto Balaam1109, Come3212, I pray thee, I will bring3947 thee unto another312 place4725; peradventure it will please3474 5869 God430 that thou mayest curse6895 me them from thence.
28And Balak1111 brought3947 Balaam1109 unto the top7218 of Peor6465, that looketh8259 toward6440 Jeshimon3452.
29And Balaam1109 said559 unto Balak1111, Build1129 me here seven7651 altars4196, and prepare3559 me here seven7651 bullocks6499 and seven7651 rams352.
30And Balak1111 did6213 as Balaam1109 had said559, and offered5927 a bullock6499 and a ram352 on every altar4196.
