5 and for a libation work the fourth of a hin of wine for the holocaust or for the sacrifice for one lamb.
6 Or for a ram, work an offering - two tenths flour mixed with the third of a hin of oil:
7 and for a libation, oblate the third of a hin of wine, for a scent of rest to Yah Veh.
8 And when you work a son of the oxen for a holocaust or for a sacrifice or marvel a vow or shelamim to Yah Veh:
9 then he oblates with a son of the oxen an offering of three tenths flour mixed with half a hin of oil:
10 and oblates for a libation, half a hin of wine, for a firing of a scent of rest to Yah Veh.
11 Work thus for one ox or for one ram or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats:
12 according to the number that you work, work thus to every one according to their number:

20 exalt a cake of the first of your dough for an exaltment: as the exaltment of the threshingfloor, thus you exalt.
21 Give of the first of your dough to Yah Veh an exaltment in your generations.
22 And when you err inadvertently and work not all these misvoth which Yah Veh worded to Mosheh,
23 - all Yah Veh misvahed you by the hand of Mosheh - from the day Yah Veh misvahed and beyond among your generations;
Numbers 23:6-23
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!
Numbers 24:1-25
1 And Bilam sees it is good in the eyes of Yah Veh to bless Yisra El, and he goes not, as time by time, to confront prognostications, but he sets his face toward the wilderness:
2 and Bilam lifts his eyes and sees Yisra El tabernacling by their scions; and the spirit of Elohim comes on him:
3 and he lifts his proverb and says, - an oracle of Bilam the son of Beor - an oracle of the master whose eyes were shut but now unveiled:
4 - an oracle of him who hears the sayings of El, who sees the vision of Shadday, falling, but eyes exposed,
5 How goodly your tents, O Yaaqov and your tabernacles, O Yisra El!
6 As the wadies they spread, as gardens by the side of the river as the aloes Yah Veh plants and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He flows the water from his pails and his seed is in many waters: and his sovereign is more exalted than Agag and his sovereigndom becomes exalted.
8 El brings him from Misrayim; he has as strength of a reem: he eats the goyim his tribulators and craunches their bones and strikes with his arrows.
9 He kneels, he lies down as a lion - as a roaring lion - who rouses him? Blessed, he who blesses you and cursed, he who curses you.
10 And Balaq kindles his wrath against Bilam and he claps his palms together: and Balaq says to Bilam, I call you to curse my enemies, and behold, in blessing, you bless them these three times.
11 and now flee to your place. I had said, In honoring, I honor you; but, behold, Yah Veh withholds you from honor.
12 And Bilam says to Balaq, Worded I not also to your angels whom you sent me, saying,
13 If Balaq gives me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot trespass the mouth of Yah Veh, to work good or evil of my own heart? And what Yah Veh words, I word?
14 And now, behold, I go to my people: come, and I counsel you what this people work to your people in the final days.
