Numbers 22:1--24:25

22:1
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
set forward
<05265> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in the plains
<06160>
of Moab
<04124>
on this side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>
[by] Jericho
<03405>_.
22:2
And Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>
saw
<07200> (8799)
all that Israel
<03478>
had done
<06213> (8804)
to the Amorites
<0567>_.
22:3
And Moab
<04124>
was sore
<03966>
afraid
<01481> (8799)
of
<06440>
the people
<05971>_,
because they [were] many
<07227>_:
and Moab
<04124>
was distressed
<06973> (8799)
because of
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
22:4
And Moab
<04124>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Midian
<04080>_,
Now shall this company
<06951>
lick up
<03897> (8762)
all [that are] round about
<05439>
us, as the ox
<07794>
licketh up
<03897> (8800)
the grass
<03418>
of the field
<07704>_.
And Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>
[was] king
<04428>
of the Moabites
<04124>
at that time
<06256>_.
22:5
He sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
therefore unto Balaam
<01109>
the son
<01121>
of Beor
<01160>
to Pethor
<06604>_,
which [is] by the river
<05104>
of the land
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of his people
<05971>_,
to call
<07121> (8800)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, there is a people
<05971>
come out
<03318> (8804)
from Egypt
<04714>_:
behold, they cover
<03680> (8765)
the face
<05869>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and they abide
<03427> (8802)
over against
<04136>
me: {face: Heb. eye}
22:6
Come
<03212> (8798)
now therefore, I pray thee, curse
<0779> (8798)
me this people
<05971>_;
for they [are] too mighty
<06099>
for me: peradventure I shall prevail
<03201> (8799)_,
[that] we may smite
<05221> (8686)
them, and [that] I may drive them out
<01644> (8762)
of the land
<0776>_:
for I wot
<03045> (8804)
that he whom thou blessest
<01288> (8762)
[is] blessed
<01288> (8794)_,
and he whom thou cursest
<0779> (8799)
is cursed
<0779> (8714)_.
22:7
And the elders
<02205>
of Moab
<04124>
and the elders
<02205>
of Midian
<04080>
departed
<03212> (8799)
with the rewards of divination
<07081>
in their hand
<03027>_;
and they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him the words
<01697>
of Balak
<01111>_.
22:8
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Lodge
<03885> (8798)
here this night
<03915>_,
and I will bring
<07725> (0)
you word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8689)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto me: and the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>
abode
<03427> (8799)
with Balaam
<01109>_.
22:9
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What men
<0582>
[are] these with thee?
22:10
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
unto me, [saying],
22:11
Behold, [there is] a people
<05971>
come out
<03318> (8802)
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which covereth
<03680> (8762)
the face
<05869>
of the earth
<0776>_:
come
<03212> (8798)
now, curse
<06895> (8798)
me them; peradventure I shall be able
<03201> (8799)
to overcome
<03898> (8736)
them, and drive them out
<01644> (8765)_.
{I shall...: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him}
22:12
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Thou shalt not go
<03212> (8799)
with them; thou shalt not curse
<0779> (8799)
the people
<05971>_:
for they [are] blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
22:13
And Balaam
<01109>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the princes
<08269>
of Balak
<01111>_,
Get
<03212> (8798)
you into your land
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
refuseth
<03985> (8765)
to give me leave
<05414> (8800)
to go
<01980> (8800)
with you.
22:14
And the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and they went
<0935> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Balaam
<01109>
refuseth
<03985> (8765)
to come
<01980> (8800)
with us.
22:15
And Balak
<01111>
sent
<07971> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)
princes
<08269>_,
more
<07227>_,
and more honourable
<03513> (8737)
than they.
22:16
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to Balaam
<01109>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder
<04513> (8735)
thee from coming
<01980> (8800)
unto me: {Let...: Heb. Be not thou hindered from, etc}
22:17
For I will promote
<03513> (0)
thee unto very
<03966>
great
<03513> (8763)
honour
<03513> (8762)_,
and I will do
<06213> (8799)
whatsoever thou sayest
<0559> (8799)
unto me: come
<03212> (8798)
therefore, I pray thee, curse
<06895> (8798)
me this people
<05971>_.
22:18
And Balaam
<01109>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the servants
<05650>
of Balak
<01111>_,
If Balak
<01111>
would give
<05414> (8799)
me his house
<01004>
full
<04393>
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go beyond
<05674> (8800)
the word
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
less
<06996>
or more
<01419>_.
22:19
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry
<03427> (8798)
ye also here this night
<03915>_,
that I may know
<03045> (8799)
what the LORD
<03068>
will say
<01696> (8763)
unto me more
<03254> (8686)_.
22:20
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>
at night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If the men
<0582>
come
<0935> (8804)
to call
<07121> (8800)
thee, rise up
<06965> (8798)_,
[and] go
<03212> (8798)
with them; but yet
<0389>
the word
<01697>
which I shall say
<01696> (8762)
unto thee, that shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)_.
22:21
And Balaam
<01109>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and saddled
<02280> (8799)
his ass
<0860>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
with the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>_.
22:22
And God's
<0430>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
because he went
<01980> (8802)_:
and the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<03320> (8691)
in the way
<01870>
for an adversary
<07854>
against him. Now he was riding
<07392> (8802)
upon his ass
<0860>_,
and his two
<08147>
servants
<05288>
[were] with him.
22:23
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and the ass
<0860>
turned aside
<05186> (8799)
out of the way
<01870>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_:
and Balaam
<01109>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>_,
to turn
<05186> (8687)
her into the way
<01870>_.
22:24
But the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in a path
<04934>
of the vineyards
<03754>_,
a wall
<01447>
[being] on this side, and a wall
<01447>
on that side.
22:25
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she thrust
<03905> (8735)
herself unto the wall
<07023>_,
and crushed
<03905> (8799)
Balaam's
<01109>
foot
<07272>
against the wall
<07023>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8687)
her again
<03254> (8686)_.
22:26
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
went
<05674> (8800)
further
<03254> (8686)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in a narrow
<06862>
place
<04725>_,
where [was] no way
<01870>
to turn
<05186> (8800)
either to the right hand
<03225>
or to the left
<08040>_.
22:27
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she fell down
<07257> (8799)
under Balaam
<01109>_:
and Balaam's
<01109>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>
with a staff
<04731>_.
22:28
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06605> (8799)
the mouth
<06310>
of the ass
<0860>_,
and she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
What have I done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee, that thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)
me these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
22:29
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the ass
<0860>_,
Because thou hast mocked
<05953> (8694)
me: I would
<03863>
there were
<03426>
a sword
<02719>
in mine hand
<03027>_,
for now would I kill
<02026> (8804)
thee.
22:30
And the ass
<0860>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
[Am] not I thine ass
<0860>_,
upon which thou hast ridden
<07392> (8804)
ever since [I was] thine unto this day
<03117>_?
was I ever
<05532> (8687)
wont
<05532> (8689)
to do so
<06213> (8800)
unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay. {upon...: Heb. who hast ridden upon me} {ever since...: or, ever since thou wast, etc}
22:31
Then the LORD
<03068>
opened
<01540> (8762)
the eyes
<05869>
of Balaam
<01109>_,
and he saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and he bowed down
<06915> (8799)
his head, and fell flat
<07812> (8691)
on his face
<0639>_.
{fell...: or, bowed himself}
22:32
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
<05221> (8689)
thine ass
<0860>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
behold, I went out
<03318> (8804)
to withstand
<07854>
thee, because [thy] way
<01870>
is perverse
<03399> (8804)
before me: {to...: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee}
22:33
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
me, and turned
<05186> (8799)
from me
<06440>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_:
unless
<0194>
she had turned
<05186> (8804)
from me
<06440>_,
surely now also I had slain
<02026> (8804)
thee, and saved her alive
<02421> (8689)_.
22:34
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;
for I knew
<03045> (8804)
not that thou stoodest
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>
against
<07125> (8800)
me: now therefore, if it displease thee
<07489> (8804) <05869>_,
I will get me back again
<07725> (8799)_.
{displease...: Heb. be evil in thine eyes}
22:35
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
with the men
<0582>_:
but only
<0657>
the word
<01697>
that I shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto thee, that thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.
So Balaam
<01109>
went
<03212> (8799)
with the princes
<08269>
of Balak
<01111>_.
22:36
And when Balak
<01111>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that Balaam
<01109>
was come
<0935> (8802)_,
he went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him unto a city
<05892>
of Moab
<04124>_,
which [is] in the border
<01366>
of Arnon
<0769>_,
which [is] in the utmost
<07097>
coast
<01366>_.
22:37
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Did I not earnestly
<07971> (8800)
send
<07971> (8804)
unto thee to call
<07121> (8800)
thee? wherefore camest
<01980> (8804)
thou not unto me? am I not able
<03201> (8799)
indeed
<0552>
to promote thee to honour
<03513> (8763)_?
22:38
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Lo, I am come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee: have I now any power
<03201> (8799)
at all
<03201> (8800)
to say
<01696> (8763)
any thing
<03972>_?
the word
<01697>
that God
<0430>
putteth
<07760> (8799)
in my mouth
<06310>_,
that shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_.
22:39
And Balaam
<01109>
went
<03212> (8799)
with Balak
<01111>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Kirjathhuzoth
<02351> <07155>_.
{Kirjathhuzoth: or, a city of streets}
22:40
And Balak
<01111>
offered
<02076> (8799)
oxen
<01241>
and sheep
<06629>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
to Balaam
<01109>_,
and to the princes
<08269>
that [were] with him.
22:41
And it came to pass on the morrow
<01242>_,
that Balak
<01111>
took
<03947> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>_,
and brought him up
<05927> (8686)
into the high places
<01116>
of Baal
<01120>_,
that thence he might see
<07200> (8799)
the utmost
<07097>
[part] of the people
<05971>_.
23:1
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Build
<01129> (8798)
me here seven
<07651>
altars
<04196>_,
and prepare
<03559> (8685)
me here seven
<07651>
oxen
<06499>
and seven
<07651>
rams
<0352>_.
23:2
And Balak
<01111>
did
<06213> (8799)
as Balaam
<01109>
had spoken
<01696> (8765)_;
and Balak
<01111>
and Balaam
<01109>
offered
<05927> (8686)
on [every] altar
<04196>
a bullock
<06499>
and a ram
<0352>_.
23:3
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Stand
<03320> (8690)
by thy burnt offering
<05930>_,
and I will go
<03212> (8799)_:
peradventure the LORD
<03068>
will come
<07136> (8735)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
me: and whatsoever
<01697>
he sheweth
<07200> (8686)
me I will tell
<05046> (8689)
thee. And he went
<03212> (8799)
to an high place
<08205>_.
{to an...: or, solitary}
23:4
And God
<0430>
met
<07136> (8735)
Balaam
<01109>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I have prepared
<06186> (8804)
seven
<07651>
altars
<04196>_,
and I have offered
<05927> (8686)
upon [every] altar
<04196>
a bullock
<06499>
and a ram
<0352>_.
23:5
And the LORD
<03068>
put
<07760> (8799)
a word
<01697>
in Balaam's
<01109>
mouth
<06310>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Return
<07725> (8798)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
and thus thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.
23:6
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
unto him, and, lo, he stood
<05324> (8737)
by his burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
he, and all the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>_.
23:7
And he took up
<05375> (8799)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Balak
<01111>
the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
hath brought
<05148> (8686)
me from Aram
<0758>_,
out of the mountains
<02042>
of the east
<06924>_,
[saying], Come
<03212> (8798)_,
curse
<0779> (8798)
me Jacob
<03290>_,
and come
<03212> (8798)_,
defy
<02194> (8798)
Israel
<03478>_.
23:8
How
<04100>
shall I curse
<05344> (8799)_,
whom God
<0410>
hath not cursed
<06895> (8804)_?
or how shall I defy
<02194> (8799)_,
[whom] the LORD
<03068>
hath not defied
<02194> (8804)_?
23:9
For from the top
<07218>
of the rocks
<06697>
I see
<07200> (8799)
him, and from the hills
<01389>
I behold
<07789> (8799)
him: lo, the people
<05971>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
alone
<0910>_,
and shall not be reckoned
<02803> (8691)
among the nations
<01471>_.
23:10
Who can count
<04487> (8804)
the dust
<06083>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and the number
<04557>
of the fourth
<07255>
[part] of Israel
<03478>_?
Let me die
<04191> (8799) <05315>
the death
<04194>
of the righteous
<03477>_,
and let my last
<0319>
end be like his! {me: Heb. my soul, or, my life}
23:11
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? I took
<03947> (8804)
thee to curse
<06895> (8800)
mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and, behold, thou hast blessed
<01288> (8765)
[them] altogether
<01288> (8763)_.
23:12
And he answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Must I not take heed
<08104> (8799)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
that which the LORD
<03068>
hath put
<07760> (8799)
in my mouth
<06310>_?
23:13
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Come
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray thee, with me unto another
<0312>
place
<04725>_,
from whence thou mayest see
<07200> (8799)
them: thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)
but
<0657>
the utmost
<07097>
part of them, and shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
them all: and curse
<06895> (8798)
me them from thence.
23:14
And he brought
<03947> (8799)
him into the field
<07704>
of Zophim
<06839> (8677) <06822> (8802)_,
to the top
<07218>
of Pisgah
<06449>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
seven
<07651>
altars
<04196>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
a bullock
<06499>
and a ram
<0352>
on [every] altar
<04196>_.
{Pisgah: or, the hill}
23:15
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Stand
<03320> (8690)
here
<03541>
by thy burnt offering
<05930>_,
while I meet
<07136> (8735)
[the LORD] yonder
<03541>_.
23:16
And the LORD
<03068>
met
<07136> (8735)
Balaam
<01109>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a word
<01697>
in his mouth
<06310>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go again
<07725> (8798)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
and say
<01696> (8762)
thus.
23:17
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
to him, behold, he stood
<05324> (8737)
by his burnt offering
<05930>_,
and the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>
with him. And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What hath the LORD
<03068>
spoken
<01696> (8765)_?
23:18
And he took up
<05375> (8799)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Rise up
<06965> (8798)_,
Balak
<01111>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_;
hearken
<0238> (8685)
unto me, thou son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_:
23:19
God
<0410>
[is] not a man
<0376>_,
that he should lie
<03576> (8762)_;
neither the son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
that he should repent
<05162> (8691)_:
hath he said
<0559> (8804)_,
and shall he not do
<06213> (8799)
[it]? or hath he spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
and shall he not make it good
<06965> (8686)_?
23:20
Behold, I have received
<03947> (8804)
[commandment] to bless
<01288> (8763)_:
and he hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_;
and I cannot reverse
<07725> (8686)
it.
23:21
He hath not beheld
<05027> (8689)
iniquity
<0205>
in Jacob
<03290>_,
neither hath he seen
<07200> (8804)
perverseness
<05999>
in Israel
<03478>_:
the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[is] with him, and the shout
<08643>
of a king
<04428>
[is] among them.
23:22
God
<0410>
brought them out
<03318> (8688)
of Egypt
<04714>_;
he hath as it were the strength
<08443>
of an unicorn
<07214>_.
23:23
Surely [there is] no enchantment
<05173>
against Jacob
<03290>_,
neither [is there] any divination
<07081>
against Israel
<03478>_:
according to this time
<06256>
it shall be said
<0559> (8735)
of Jacob
<03290>
and of Israel
<03478>_,
What hath God
<0410>
wrought
<06466> (8804)_!
{against: or, in}
23:24
Behold, the people
<05971>
shall rise up
<06965> (8799)
as a great lion
<03833>_,
and lift up
<05375> (8691)
himself as a young lion
<0738>_:
he shall not lie down
<07901> (8799)
until he eat
<0398> (8799)
[of] the prey
<02964>_,
and drink
<08354> (8799)
the blood
<01818>
of the slain
<02491>_.
23:25
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Neither curse
<05344> (8799)
them at all
<06895> (8800)_,
nor bless
<01288> (8762)
them at all
<01288> (8763)_.
23:26
But Balaam
<01109>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Told
<01696> (8765)
not I thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
All that the LORD
<03068>
speaketh
<01696> (8762)_,
that I must do
<06213> (8799)_?
23:27
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray thee, I will bring
<03947> (8799)
thee unto another
<0312>
place
<04725>_;
peradventure it will please
<03474> (8799) <05869>
God
<0430>
that thou mayest curse
<06895> (8804)
me them from thence.
23:28
And Balak
<01111>
brought
<03947> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>
unto the top
<07218>
of Peor
<06465>_,
that looketh
<08259> (8737)
toward
<06440>
Jeshimon
<03452>_.
23:29
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Build
<01129> (8798)
me here seven
<07651>
altars
<04196>_,
and prepare
<03559> (8685)
me here seven
<07651>
bullocks
<06499>
and seven
<07651>
rams
<0352>_.
23:30
And Balak
<01111>
did
<06213> (8799)
as Balaam
<01109>
had said
<0559> (8804)_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
a bullock
<06499>
and a ram
<0352>
on [every] altar
<04196>_.
24:1
And when Balaam
<01109>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that it pleased
<05869> <02895> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to bless
<01288> (8763)
Israel
<03478>_,
he went
<01980> (8804)
not, as at other times
<06471>_,
to seek
<07125> (8800)
for enchantments
<05173>_,
but he set
<07896> (8799)
his face
<06440>
toward the wilderness
<04057>_.
{to seek...: Heb. to the meeting of}
24:2
And Balaam
<01109>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and he saw
<07200> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
abiding
<07931> (8802)
[in his tents] according to their tribes
<07626>_;
and the spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came upon him.
24:3
And he took up
<05375> (8799)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Balaam
<01109>
the son
<01121>
of Beor
<01160>
hath said
<05002> (8803)_,
and the man
<01397>
whose eyes
<05869>
are open
<08365> (8803)
hath said
<05002> (8803)_:
{whose...: Heb. who had his eyes shut, but now opened}
24:4
He hath said
<05002> (8803)_,
which heard
<08085> (8802)
the words
<0561>
of God
<0410>_,
which saw
<02372> (8799)
the vision
<04236>
of the Almighty
<07706>_,
falling
<05307> (8802)
[into a trance], but having his eyes
<05869>
open
<01540> (8803)_:
24:5
How goodly
<02895> (8804)
are thy tents
<0168>_,
O Jacob
<03290>_,
[and] thy tabernacles
<04908>_,
O Israel
<03478>_!
24:6
As the valleys
<05158>
are they spread forth
<05186> (8738)_,
as gardens
<01593>
by the river's side
<05104>_,
as the trees of lign aloes
<0174>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath planted
<05193> (8804)_,
[and] as cedar trees
<0730>
beside the waters
<04325>_.
24:7
He shall pour
<05140> (0)
the water
<04325>
out
<05140> (8799)
of his buckets
<01805>_,
and his seed
<02233>
[shall be] in many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
and his king
<04428>
shall be higher
<07311> (8799)
than Agag
<090>_,
and his kingdom
<04438>
shall be exalted
<05375> (8691)_.
24:8
God
<0410>
brought him forth
<03318> (8688)
out of Egypt
<04714>_;
he hath as it were the strength
<08443>
of an unicorn
<07214>_:
he shall eat up
<0398> (8799)
the nations
<01471>
his enemies
<06862>_,
and shall break
<01633> (8762)
their bones
<06106>_,
and pierce
<04272> (8799)
[them] through with his arrows
<02671>_.
24:9
He couched
<03766> (8804)_,
he lay down
<07901> (8804)
as a lion
<0738>_,
and as a great lion
<03833>_:
who shall stir him up
<06965> (8686)_?
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[is] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)
thee, and cursed
<0779> (8803)
[is] he that curseth
<0779> (8802)
thee.
24:10
And Balak's
<01111>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Balaam
<01109>_,
and he smote
<05606> (0)
his hands
<03709>
together
<05606> (8799)_:
and Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
I called
<07121> (8804)
thee to curse
<06895> (8800)
mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and, behold, thou hast altogether
<01288> (8763)
blessed
<01288> (8765)
[them] these three
<07969>
times
<06471>_.
24:11
Therefore now flee
<01272> (8798)
thou to thy place
<04725>_:
I thought
<0559> (8804)
to promote
<03513> (0)
thee unto great
<03513> (8763)
honour
<03513> (8762)_;
but, lo, the LORD
<03068>
hath kept thee back
<04513> (8804)
from honour
<03519>_.
24:12
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Spake
<01696> (8765)
I not also to thy messengers
<04397>
which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
24:13
If Balak
<01111>
would give
<05414> (8799)
me his house
<01004>
full
<04393>
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go beyond
<05674> (8800)
the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
[either] good
<02896>
or bad
<07451>
of mine own mind
<03820>_;
[but] what the LORD
<03068>
saith
<01696> (8762)_,
that will I speak
<01696> (8762)_?
24:14
And now, behold, I go
<01980> (8802)
unto my people
<05971>_:
come
<03212> (8798)
[therefore, and] I will advertise
<03289> (8799)
thee what this people
<05971>
shall do
<06213> (8799)
to thy people
<05971>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_.
24:15
And he took up
<05375> (8799)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Balaam
<01109>
the son
<01121>
of Beor
<01160>
hath said
<05002> (8803)_,
and the man
<01397>
whose eyes
<05869>
are open
<08365> (8803)
hath said
<05002> (8803)_:
24:16
He hath said
<05002> (8803)_,
which heard
<08085> (8802)
the words
<0561>
of God
<0410>_,
and knew
<03045> (8802)
the knowledge
<01847>
of the most High
<05945>_,
[which] saw
<02372> (8799)
the vision
<04236>
of the Almighty
<07706>_,
falling
<05307> (8802)
[into a trance], but having his eyes
<05869>
open
<01540> (8803)_:
24:17
I shall see
<07200> (8799)
him, but not now: I shall behold
<07789> (8799)
him, but not nigh
<07138>_:
there shall come
<01869> (8804)
a Star
<03556>
out of Jacob
<03290>_,
and a Sceptre
<07626>
shall rise
<06965> (8804)
out of Israel
<03478>_,
and shall smite
<04272> (8804)
the corners
<06285>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and destroy
<06979> (8773)
all the children
<01121>
of Sheth
