1And Balaam^H1109 said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Build^H1129 me here seven^H7651 altars^H4196, and prepare^H3559 me here seven^H7651 bullocks^H6499 and seven^H7651 rams^H352. 2And Balak^H1111 did^H6213 as Balaam^H1109 had spoken^H1696; and Balak^H1111 and Balaam^H1109 offered^H5927 on every altar^H4196 a bullock^H6499 and a ram^H352. 3And Balaam^H1109 said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Stand^H3320 by thy burnt-offering^H5930, and I will go^H3212: peradventure Jehovah^H3068 will come^H7136 to meet^H7125 me; and whatsoever^H1697 he showeth^H7200 me I will tell^H5046 thee. And he went^H3212 to a bare height^H8205. 4And God^H430 met^H7136 Balaam^H1109: and he said^H559 unto him, I have prepared^H6186 the seven^H7651 altars^H4196, and I have offered^H5927 up a bullock^H6499 and a ram^H352 on every altar^H4196. 5And Jehovah^H3068 put^H7760 a word^H1697 in Balaam's^H1109 mouth^H6310, and said^H559, Return^H7725 unto Balak^H1111, and thus thou shalt speak^H1696. 6And he returned^H7725 unto him, and, lo, he was standing^H5324 by his burnt-offering^H5930, he, and all the princes^H8269 of Moab^H4124. 7And he took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, From Aram^H758 hath Balak^H1111 brought^H5148 me, The king^H4428 of Moab^H4124 from the mountains^H2042 of the East^H6924: Come^H3212, curse^H779 me Jacob^H3290, And come^H3212, defy^H2194 Israel^H3478. 8How^H4100 shall I curse^H5344, whom God^H410 hath not cursed^H6895? And how shall I defy^H2194, whom Jehovah^H3068 hath not defied^H2194? 9For from the top^H7218 of the rocks^H6697 I see^H7200 him, And from the hills^H1389 I behold^H7789 him: lo, it is a people^H5971 that dwelleth^H7931 alone^H910, And shall not be reckoned^H2803 among the nations^H1471. 10Who can count^H4487 the dust^H6083 of Jacob^H3290, Or number^H4557 the fourth^H7255 part of Israel^H3478? Let me die^H4191 the death^H4194 of the righteous^H3477, And let my last^H319 end be like his! 11And Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto Balaam^H1109, What hast thou done^H6213 unto me? I took^H3947 thee to curse^H6895 mine enemies^H341, and, behold, thou hast blessed^H1288 them altogether^H1288. 12And he answered^H6030 and said^H559, Must I not take heed^H8104 to speak^H1696 that which Jehovah^H3068 putteth^H7760 in my mouth^H6310? 13And Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto him, Come^H3212, I pray thee, with me unto another^H312 place^H4725, from whence thou mayest see^H7200 them; thou shalt see^H7200 but^H657 the utmost^H7097 part of them, and shalt not see^H7200 them all: and curse^H6895 me them from thence. 14And he took^H3947 him into the field^H7704 of Zophim^H6839, to the top^H7218 of Pisgah^H6449, and built^H1129 seven^H7651 altars^H4196, and offered^H5927 up a bullock^H6499 and a ram^H352 on every altar^H4196. 15And he said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Stand^H3320 here^H3541 by thy burnt-offering^H5930, while I meet^H7136 Jehovah yonder^H3541. 16And Jehovah^H3068 met^H7136 Balaam^H1109, and put^H7760 a word^H1697 in his mouth^H6310, and said^H559, Return^H7725 unto Balak^H1111, and thus shalt thou speak^H1696. 17And he came^H935 to him, and, lo, he was standing^H5324 by his burnt-offering^H5930, and the princes^H8269 of Moab^H4124 with him. And Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto him, What hath Jehovah^H3068 spoken^H1696? 18And he took up^H5375 his parable^H4912, and said^H559, Rise up^H6965, Balak^H1111, and hear^H8085; Hearken^H238 unto me, thou son^H1121 of Zippor^H6834: 19God^H410 is not a man^H376, that he should lie^H3576, Neither the son^H1121 of man^H120, that he should repent^H5162: Hath he said^H559, and will he not do^H6213 it? Or hath he spoken^H1696, and will he not make it good^H6965? 20Behold, I have received^H3947 commandment to bless^H1288: And he hath blessed^H1288, and I cannot reverse^H7725 it. 21He hath not beheld^H5027 iniquity^H205 in Jacob^H3290; Neither hath he seen^H7200 perverseness^H5999 in Israel^H3478: Jehovah^H3068 his God^H430 is with him, And the shout^H8643 of a king^H4428 is among them. 22God^H410 bringeth them forth^H3318 out of Egypt^H4714; He hath as it were the strength^H8443 of the wild-ox^H7214. 23Surely there is no enchantment^H5173 with Jacob^H3290; Neither is there any divination^H7081 with Israel^H3478: Now^H6256 shalt it be said^H559 of Jacob^H3290 and of Israel^H3478, What hath God^H410 wrought^H6466! 24Behold, the people^H5971 riseth up^H6965 as a lioness^H3833, And as a lion^H3833 doth he lift himself up^H5375: He shall not lie down^H7901 until he eat^H398 of the prey^H2964, And drink^H8354 the blood^H1818 of the slain^H2491. 25And Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto Balaam^H1109, Neither curse^H5344 them at all^H6895, nor bless^H1288 them at all^H1288. 26But Balaam^H1109 answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Told^H1696 not I thee, saying^H559, All that Jehovah^H3068 speaketh^H1696, that I must do^H6213? 27And Balak^H1111 said^H559 unto Balaam^H1109, Come^H3212 now, I will take^H3947 thee unto another^H312 place^H4725; peradventure it will please^H3474 God^H430 that thou mayest curse^H6895 me them from thence. 28And Balak^H1111 took^H3947 Balaam^H1109 unto the top^H7218 of Peor^H6465, that looketh^H8259 down^H6440 upon the desert^H3452. 29And Balaam^H1109 said^H559 unto Balak^H1111, Build^H1129 me here seven^H7651 altars^H4196, and prepare^H3559 me here seven^H7651 bullocks^H6499 and seven^H7651 rams^H352. 30And Balak^H1111 did^H6213 as Balaam^H1109 had said^H559, and offered^H5927 up a bullock^H6499 and a ram^H352 on every altar^H4196.
