LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And Balaam said to Balak, Station yourself by your burnt offering, and I will go on; it may be that Jehovah will come to meet me, and I will declare to you the things which He reveals to Me. and he went to a high place. ⁴ And God came to Balaam, and he said to Him, I have set up seven altars. And I have offered a bullock and a ram on the altar. ⁵ And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and you shall say this. ⁶ And he returned to him. And, lo, he was standing by his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab. ⁷ And he took up his parable and said, He has led me from Aram, Balak king of Moab; from the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me; and, come, rage at Israel. ⁸ How shall I curse him whom God has not cursed? And how shall I rage at him whom Jehovah has not raged at? ⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him, and I behold him from the heights. Behold, it is a people that shall dwell alone and not be reckoned among the nations. ¹⁰ Who can count Jacob's dust, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! ¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and lo you have surely blessed. ¹² And he replied and said, Must not I take heed to speak what Jehovah has put in my mouth?
