Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Balaam said unto Balak ,
Build me here seven altars ,
and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams .
*
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken ;
and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram .
*
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 ?
*
And Balak said unto him ,
Come ,
I pray thee ,
with me unto another place ,
from whence thou mayest see them :
thou shalt see but the utmost part of them ,
and shalt not see them all :
and curse me them from thence .
*
And he brought him into the field of Zophim T ,
to the top of Pisgah ,
and built seven altars ,
and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar .
*
And he said unto Balak ,
Stand here by thy burnt offering ,
while I meet the LORD yonder .
*
And the LORD met Balaam Bil #
am #,
and put a word in his mouth ,
and said ,
Go again unto Balak ,
and say thus .
*
And when he came to him ,
behold ,
he stood by his burnt offering ,
and the princes of Moab with him .
And Balak said unto him ,
What hath the LORD spoken ?
*
And he took up his parable ,
and said ,
Rise up ,
Balak ,
and hear ;
hearken unto me ,
thou son of Zippor :
*
God is not a man ,
that he should lie ;
neither the son of man ,
that he should repent :
hath he said ,
and shall he not do it ?
or hath he spoken ,
and shall he not make it good ?
*
Behold ,
I have received commandment to bless :
and he hath blessed ;
and I cannot reverse it .
*
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel Yisra #
el #:
the LORD his God is with him ,
and the shout of a king is among them .
*
God brought them out of Egypt ;
he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn r @#
em #.
*
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
neither is there any divination against Israel Yisra #
el #:
according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel Yisra #
el #,
What hath God wrought !
*
Behold ,
the people shall rise up as a great lion ,
and lift up himself as a young lion :
he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey ,
and drink the blood of the slain .
*
And Balak said unto Balaam Bil #
am #,
Neither curse them at all ,
nor bless them at all .
*
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak ,
Told not I thee ,
saying ,
All that the LORD speaketh ,
that I must do ?
*
And Balak said unto Balaam Bil #
am #,
Come ,
I pray thee ,
I will bring thee unto another place ;
peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence .
*
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor P @#
owr #,
that looketh toward Jeshimon .
*
And Balaam said unto Balak ,
Build me here seven altars ,
and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams .
*
And Balak did as Balaam had said ,
and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar .
