The ORACLES OF BILAM
And Bilam says to Balaq, Build me here seven sacrifice altars and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 2 - and Balaq works as Bilam worded; and Balaq and Bilam holocaust a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar. 3 And Bilam says to Balaq, Stand by your holocaust and I go: perhaps Yah Veh happens to meet me: and whatever word he has me see, I tell you. And he goes to the barrens 4 and Elohim happens on Bilam, and he says to him, I arrange seven sacrifice altars and I holocaust a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar. 5 And Yah Veh puts a word in the mouth of Bilam, and says, Return to Balaq and word thus. 6 And he returns to him, and behold, he stations himself by his holocaust - he and all the governors of Moab: 7 and he lifts his proverb, and says, Balaq the sovereign of Moab leads me from Aram - from the mountains of the east, Go, curse Yaaqov for me! And go, enrage Yisra El! 8 How pierce I whom El curses not? Or how enrage I whom Yah Veh enrages not? 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him and from the hills I observe him: behold, the people tabernacle alone and are not fabricated among the goyim. 10 Who numbers the dust of Yaaqov? And the number of the fourth of Yisra El? Let my soul die the death of the straight and let my finality be like his! 11 And Balaq says to Bilam, What work you to me? I take you to curse my enemies; and behold, in blessing, you bless them. 12 And he answers and says, Guard I not to word what Yah Veh puts in my mouth? 13 And Balaq says to him, Come, I beseech you, with me to another place, from whence you see them: you see but the final end of them - but not see them all: and curse them for me from there. 14 And he takes him into the field of Watchers, to the top of Pisgah and builds seven sacrifice altars and holocausts a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar. 15 And he says to Balaq, Stand thus by your holocaust, while I happen over there. 16 And Yah Veh happens on Bilam and puts a word in his mouth, and says, Return to Balaq and word thus. 17 And he comes to him, and behold, he stations himself by his holocaust and the governors of Moab with him. And Balaq says to him, What words Yah Veh? 18 And he takes up his proverb and says, Rise, Balaq and hear! Hearken to me, you son of Sippor! 19 El is neither a man, that he lies; nor the son of humanity, that he sighs: Says he ever, and not work? Or words he ever, and it not rise? 20 Behold, I take to bless: and he blesses and I cannot turn it. 21 He neither looks at the mischief in Yaaqov, nor sees the drudgery in Yisra El: Yah Veh his Elohim is with him and the shout of of a sovereign is among them. 22 El brings them from Misrayim; he has as the strength of a reem. 23 Surely there is neither prognostication against Yaaqov, nor any divination against Yisra El: according to this time it is said of Yaaqov and of Yisra El, What El works! 24 Behold, the people rise as a roaring lion and lift himself as a lion: he lies not down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the pierced. 25 And Balaq says to Bilam, Neither pierce them at all nor bless them at all. 26 And Bilam answers and says to Balaq, Worded I not to you, saying, All Yah Veh words, I work? 27 And Balaq says to Bilam, Come, I beseech you, I take you to another place; perhaps it be straight in the eyes of Elohim that you curse them for me from there. 28 - and Balaq takes Bilam to the top of Peor, at the face of the desolation. 29 And Bilam says to Balaq, Build me here seven sacrifice altars and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30 - and Balaq works as Bilam says and offers a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar.
