Numbers 24:17-18

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ I can see him, but not right now. I observe him, but from a distance. A star streams forth from Jacob; a scepter arises from Israel. He will crush Moab’s forehead, along with all of Seth’s descendants. ¹⁸ Edom will be a conquered nation and Seir will be Israel’s defeated foe, while Israel performs valiantly.
