Numbers 23
And
Balaam
said
unto
Balak,
Build
me
here
seven
altars,
and
prepare
me
here
a
seven
oxen
and
seven
rams.
2 And
Balak
did
as
Balaam
had
spoken;
and
Balak
and
Balaam
offered
on
every
altar
a
bullock
and
a
ram.
3 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
a
an
high
place.
4 And
God
met
Balaam:
and
he
said
unto
him,
I
have
prepared
seven
altars,
and
I
have
offered
upon
every
altar
a
bullock
and
a
ram.
5 And
the
Lord
put
a
word
in
Balaam's
mouth,
and
said,
Return
unto
Balak,
and
thus
thou
shalt
speak.
6 And
he
returned
unto
him,
and,
lo,
he
stood
by
his
burnt
sacrifice,
he,
and
all
the
princes
of
Moab.
7 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,
and
come,
a
defy
Israel.
8 How
shall
I
curse,
whom
God
hath
not
cursed?
or
how
shall
I
defy,
whom
the
Lord
hath
not
defied?
9 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.
10 Who
can
count
the
dust
of
Jacob,
and
the
number
of
the
fourth
part
of
Israel?
Let
me
die
the
a
death
of
the
righteous,
and
let
my
last
end
be
like
his!
11 And
Balak
said
unto
a
Balaam,
What
hast
thou
done
unto
me?
I
took
thee
to
b
curse
mine
enemies,
and,
behold,
thou
hast
blessed
them
altogether.
12 And
he
answered
and
said,
Must
I
not
take
heed
to
speak
that
which
the
Lord
hath
put
in
my
mouth?
13 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.
14 And
he
brought
him
into
a
the
field
of
Zophim,
to
b
the
top
of
Pisgah,
and
built
seven
altars,
and
offered
a
bullock
and
a
ram
on
every
altar.
15 And
he
said
unto
Balak,
Stand
here
by
thy
burnt
offering,
while
I
meet
the
Lord
yonder.
16 And
the
Lord
met
Balaam,
and
put
a
word
in
his
mouth,
and
said,
Go
again
unto
Balak,
and
say
thus.
17 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?
18 And
he
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Rise
up,
Balak,
and
hear;
hearken
unto
me,
thou
son
of
Zippor:
19 God
is
not
a
man,
that
he
should
a
lie;
neither
the
son
of
man,
that
he
should
b
repent:
hath
he
said,
and
shall
he
not
do
it?
or
hath
he
c
spoken,
and
shall
he
not
make
it
good?
20 Behold,
I
have
received
commandment
to
bless:
and
he
hath
blessed;
and
I
cannot
reverse
it.
21 He
hath
not
beheld
iniquity
in
Jacob,
neither
hath
he
seen
perverseness
in
Israel:
the
Lord
his
God
is
with
him,
and
the
shout
of
a
king
is
among
them.
22 God
brought
them
out
of
Egypt;
he
hath
as
it
were
the
strength
of
a
an
unicorn.
23 Surely
there
is
no
enchantment
against
Jacob,
neither
is
there
any
divination
against
Israel:
according
to
this
time
it
shall
be
said
of
Jacob
and
of
Israel,
What
hath
God
wrought!
24 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.
25 And
Balak
said
unto
Balaam,
Neither
curse
them
at
all,
nor
bless
them
at
all.
26 But
Balaam
answered
and
said
unto
Balak,
Told
not
I
thee,
saying,
All
that
the
Lord
speaketh,
that
I
must
do?
27 And
Balak
said
unto
Balaam,
Come,
I
pray
thee,
I
will
bring
thee
unto
another
place;
peradventure
it
will
please
God
that
thou
mayest
curse
me
them
from
thence.
28 And
Balak
brought
Balaam
unto
the
top
of
Peor,
that
a
looketh
toward
Jeshimon.
29 And
Balaam
said
unto
Balak,
Build
me
here
seven
altars,
and
prepare
me
here
seven
bullocks
and
seven
rams.
30 And
Balak
did
as
Balaam
had
said,
and
offered
a
bullock
and
a
ram
on
every
altar.
