Numbers 24:17-24 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there steppeth forth a star out of Jacob, and there ariseth a sceptre out of Israel, and he pierceth the chiefs of Moab, and destroyeth all the children of Sheth.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there steppeth forth a star out of Jacob, and there ariseth a sceptre out of Israel, and he pierceth the chiefs of Moab, and destroyeth all the children of Sheth. ¹⁸ And Edom shall be a conquest, and Seir shall be a conquest for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. ¹⁹ And there shall rule the one from Jacob, and he shall destroy whatever escapeth out of the city. ²⁰ And he looked on Amalek, and he took up his parable, and said, The first of nations is Amalek; but his latter end shall be destruction for ever. ²¹ And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and placed on the rock is thy nest. ²² Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted: whither will Asshur carry thee away captive? ²³ And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doth appoint this one? ²⁴ But ships will come from the coast of Kittim, and will afflict Asshur, and will afflict ‘Eber; and he also will be given to destruction for ever.
