to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments,
but he set his face toward the wilderness. |

dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. |

the son of Beor saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith; |

He saith, who heareth the words of God, Who
seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open: |
| |
|
|

|
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles,
O Israel! |
| |
|

by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Jehovah hath planted, As cedar-trees beside
the waters. |

Water shall flow from his buckets, And his seed
shall be in many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom
shall be exalted. |

God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath
as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries,
And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite them through with his arrows.
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:9 |
|
He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a
lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And
cursed be every one that curseth thee. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:10 |
|
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam,
and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three
times. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:11 |
|
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought
to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back from honor.
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:12 |
|
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also
to thy messengers that thou sentest unto me, saying, |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:13 |
|
If Balak would give me his house full of silver
and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either good or bad of
mine own mind; what Jehovah speaketh, that will I speak? |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:14 |
|
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come,
and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter
days. |

the son of Beor saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith; |
|

knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,
Falling down, and having his eyes open: |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:17 |
|
I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not
nigh: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, And a sceptre shall rise out
of Israel, And shall smite through the corners of Moab, And break down all the
sons of tumult. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 24:18 |

be a possession, who were his enemies; While Israel doeth valiantly. |
|

And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, And
shall destroy the remnant from the city. |
| |
|

and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; But his latter end shall come to
destruction. |

And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his
parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, And thy nest is set in the rock.
|

Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, Until Asshur
shall carry thee away captive. |

who shall live when God doeth this? |

And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber; And he also shall come
to destruction. |
