updv@Numbers:23:2 @ And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.

updv@Numbers:23:3 @ And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt-offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. And he went to a bare height.

updv@Numbers:23:4 @ And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

updv@Numbers:23:5 @ And Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you will speak.

updv@Numbers:23:6 @ And he returned to him, and, look, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

updv@Numbers:23:7 @ And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram has Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse Jacob for me, And come, defy Israel.

updv@Numbers:23:8 @ How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Yahweh has not defied?

updv@Numbers:23:9 @ For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I see him: look, it is a people who stays alone, And will not be reckoned among the nations.

updv@Numbers:23:10 @ Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his!

updv@Numbers:23:11 @ And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have blessed them altogether.

updv@Numbers:23:12 @ And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?

updv@Numbers:23:13 @ And Balak said to him, Come, I pray you, with me to another place, from where you may see them; you will see but the utmost part of them, and will not see them all: and curse them for me from there.

updv@Numbers:23:14 @ And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

updv@Numbers:23:15 @ And he said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt-offering, while I meet [Yahweh] yonder.

updv@Numbers:23:16 @ And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you will speak.

updv@Numbers:23:17 @ And he came to him, and saw that he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has Yahweh spoken?

updv@Numbers:23:18 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, you son of Zippor:

updv@Numbers:23:19 @ God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither a son of man, that he should repent: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

updv@Numbers:23:20 @ Look, I have received [commandment] to bless: And he has blessed, and I can't reverse it.

updv@Numbers:23:21 @ He has not seen iniquity in Jacob; Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: Yahweh his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.

updv@Numbers:23:22 @ God brings them forth out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.

updv@Numbers:23:23 @ Surely there is no magic against Jacob; Neither is there any fortune-telling against Israel: Now it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!

updv@Numbers:23:24 @ Look, a people rises up as a lioness, And as a lion does he lift himself up: He will not lie down until he eats of the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain.

updv@Numbers:23:25 @ And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

updv@Numbers:23:26 @ But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Didn't I tell you, saying, All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?

updv@Numbers:23:27 @ And Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.

updv@Numbers:23:28 @ And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.

updv@Numbers:23:29 @ And Balaam said to Balak, Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

updv@Numbers:23:30 @ And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

updv@Numbers:24:1 @ And when Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to use magic, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

updv@Numbers:24:2 @ And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel staying according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

updv@Numbers:24:3 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, And the [special] man whose eye was closed says;

updv@Numbers:24:4 @ He says, who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

updv@Numbers:24:5 @ How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, Your tabernacles, O Israel!

updv@Numbers:24:6 @ As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the riverside, As lign-aloes which Yahweh has planted, As cedar-trees beside the waters.

updv@Numbers:24:7 @ Water will flow from his buckets, And his seed will be in many waters, And his king will be higher than Agag, And his kingdom will be exalted.

updv@Numbers:24:8 @ God brings him forth out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He will eat up the nations his adversaries, And will break their bones in pieces, And strike [them] through with his arrows.

updv@Numbers:24:9 @ He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed be everyone who blesses you, And cursed be everyone who curses you.

updv@Numbers:24:10 @ And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have altogether blessed them these three times.

updv@Numbers:24:11 @ Therefore now you flee to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.

updv@Numbers:24:12 @ And Balaam said to Balak, Didn't I speak also to your messengers that you sent to me, saying,

updv@Numbers:24:13 @ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad of my own mind; what Yahweh speaks, that I will speak?

updv@Numbers:24:14 @ And now, look, I am going to my people: come, [and] I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.

updv@Numbers:24:15 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, And the [special] man whose eye was closed says;

updv@Numbers:24:16 @ He says, who hears words of God, And knows knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

updv@Numbers:24:17 @ I see him, but not now; I look at him, but not near: There will come forth a star out of Jacob, And a scepter will rise out of Israel, And will strike through the corners of Moab, And the crown of the head of all the sons of tumult.

updv@Numbers:24:18 @ And Edom will be a possession, Seir also will be a possession, [who were] his enemies; While Israel does valiantly.

updv@Numbers:24:19 @ And out of Jacob will one have dominion, And will destroy the remnant from the city.

updv@Numbers:24:22 @ Nevertheless Kain will be wasted, Until Asshur will carry you away captive.

updv@Numbers:24:23 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who will come in bands out of the north?

updv@Numbers:24:24 @ Those who go out from the coast of Kittim, And they will afflict Asshur, and will afflict Eber; And he also will perish forever.

updv@Numbers:24:25 @ And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
