*
And Balaam said unto Balak ,
Stand by thy burnt offering ,
and I will go :
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me :
and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee .
And he went to an high place .
*
And God met Balaam Bil #
am #:
and he said unto him ,
I have prepared seven altars ,
and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram .
*
And the LORD put a word in Balaams mouth ,
and said ,
Return unto Balak ,
and thus thou shalt speak .
*
And he returned unto him ,
and ,
lo ,
he stood by his burnt sacrifice ,
he ,
and all the princes of Moab Mow #
ab #.
*
And he took up his parable ,
and said ,
Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram ,
out of the mountains of the east ,
saying ,
Come ,
curse me Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
and come ,
defy Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
How shall I curse ,
whom God hath not cursed ?
or how shall I defy ,
whom the LORD hath not defied ?
*
For from the top of the rocks I see him ,
and from the hills I behold him :
lo ,
the people shall dwell alone ,
and shall not be reckoned among the nations .
*
Who can count the dust of Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
and the number of the fourth part of Israel Yisra #
el #?
Let me die the death of the righteous ,
and let my last end be like his !
*
And Balak said unto Balaam Bil #
am #,
What hast thou done unto me ?
I took thee to curse mine enemies ,
and ,
behold ,
thou hast blessed them altogether .
*
And he answered and said ,
Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth ?
