H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H1111
to Balak
H1129 [H8798]
, Build
H7651
me here seven
H4196
altars
H3559 [H8685]
, and prepare
H7651
me here seven
H6499
oxen
H7651
and seven
H352
rams.
2
H1111
And Balak
H6213 [H8799]
did
H1109
as Balaam
H1696 [H8765]
had spoken
H1111
; and Balak
H1109
and Balaam
H5927 [H8686]
offered
H4196
on every altar
H6499
a bull
H352
and a ram.
3
H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H1111
to Balak
H3320 [H8690]
, Stand
H5930
by thy burnt offering
H3212 [H8799]
, and I will go
H3068
: perhaps the LORD
H7136 [H8735]
will come
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H1697
me: and whatever
H7200 [H8686]
he showeth
H5046 [H8689]
me I will tell
H3212 [H8799]
thee. And he went
H8205
to an high place.
4
H430
And God
H7136 [H8735]
met
H1109
Balaam
H559 [H8799]
: and he said
H6186 [H8804]
to him, I have prepared
H7651
seven
H4196
altars
H5927 [H8686]
, and I have offered
H4196
upon every altar
H6499
a bull
H352
and a ram.
5
H3068
And the LORD
H7760 [H8799]
put
H1697
a word
H1109
in Balaam's
H6310
mouth
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H7725 [H8798]
, Return
H1111
to Balak
H1696 [H8762]
, and thus thou shalt speak.
6
H7725 [H8799]
And he returned
H5324 [H8737]
to him, and, lo, he stood
H5930
by his burnt sacrifice
H8269
, he, and all the princes
H4124
of Moab.
7
H5375 [H8799]
And he took up
H4912
his parable
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H1111
, Balak
H4428
the king
H4124
of Moab
H5148 [H8686]
hath brought
H758
me from Aram
H2042
, out of the mountains
H6924
of the east
H3212 [H8798]
, saying, Come
H779 [H8798]
, curse
H3290
Jacob
H3212 [H8798]
for me, and come
H2194 [H8798]
, defy
H3478
Israel.
8
H4100
How
H5344 [H8799]
shall I curse
H410
, whom God
H6895 [H8804]
hath not cursed
H2194 [H8799]
? or how shall I defy
H3068
, whom the LORD
H2194 [H8804]
hath not defied?
9
H7218
For from the top
H6697
of the rocks
H7200 [H8799]
I see
H1389
him, and from the hills
H7789 [H8799]
I behold
H5971
him: lo, the people
H7931 [H8799]
shall dwell
H910
alone
H2803 [H8691]
, and shall not be reckoned
H1471
among the nations.
10
H4487 [H8804]
Who can count
H6083
the dust
H3290
of Jacob
H4557
, and the number
H7255
of the fourth
H3478
part of Israel
H4191 H5315 [H8799]
? Let me die
H4194
the death
H3477
of the righteous
H319
, and let my last end be like his!
11
H1111
And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam
H6213 [H8804]
, What hast thou done
H3947 [H8804]
to me? I took
H6895 [H8800]
thee to curse
H341 [H8802]
my enemies
H1288 [H8765]
, and, behold, thou hast blessed
H1288 [H8763]
them altogether.
12
H6030 [H8799]
And he answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H8104 [H8799]
, Must I not take heed
H1696 [H8763]
to speak
H3068
that which the LORD
H7760 [H8799]
hath put
H6310
in my mouth?
13
H1111
And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H3212 [H8798]
to him, Come
H312
, I pray thee, with me to another
H4725
place
H7200 [H8799]
, from which thou mayest see
H7200 [H8799]
them: thou shalt see
H657
but
H7097
the utmost
H7200 [H8799]
part of them, and shalt not see
H6895 [H8798]
them all: and from there curse them for me.
14
H3947 [H8799]
And he brought
H7704
him into the field
H6839 H6822 [H8677]
of Zophim
H7218
, to the top
H6449
of Pisgah
H1129 [H8799]
, and built
H7651
seven
H4196
altars
H5927 [H8686]
, and offered
H6499
a bull
H352
and a ram
H4196
on every altar.
15
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H1111
to Balak
H3320 [H8690]
, Stand
H3541
here
H5930
by thy burnt offering
H7136 [H8735]
, while I meet
H3541
the LORD yonder.
16
H3068
And the LORD
H7136 [H8735]
met
H1109
Balaam
H7760 [H8799]
, and put
H1697
a word
H6310
in his mouth
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H7725 [H8798]
, Go again
H1111
to Balak
H1696 [H8762]
, and say thus.
17
H935 [H8799]
And when he came
H5324 [H8737]
to him, behold, he stood
H5930
by his burnt offering
H8269
, and the princes
H4124
of Moab
H1111
with him. And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H3068
to him, What hath the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
spoken?
18
H5375 [H8799]
And he took up
H4912
his parable
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H6965 [H8798]
, Rise
H1111
, Balak
H8085 [H8798]
, and hear
H238 [H8685]
; hearken
H1121
to me, thou son
H6834
of Zippor:
19
H410
God
H376
is not a man
H3576 [H8762]
, that he should lie
H1121
; neither the son
H120
of man
H5162 [H8691]
, that he should repent
H559 [H8804]
: hath he said
H6213 [H8799]
, and shall he not do
H1696 [H8765]
it? or hath he spoken
H6965 [H8686]
, and shall he not make it good?
20
H3947 [H8804]
Behold, I have received
H1288 [H8763]
commandment to bless
H1288 [H8765]
: and he hath blessed
H7725 [H8686]
; and I cannot reverse it.
21
H5027 [H8689]
He hath not beheld
H205
iniquity
H3290
in Jacob
H7200 [H8804]
, neither hath he seen
H5999
perverseness
H3478
in Israel
H3068
: the LORD
H430
his God
H8643
is with him, and the shout
H4428
of a king is among them.
22
H410
God
H3318 [H8688]
brought them out
H4714
of Egypt
H8443
; he hath as it were the strength
H7214
of an unicorn.
23
H5173
Surely there is no enchantment
H3290
against Jacob
H7081
, neither is there any divination
H3478
against Israel
H6256
: according to this time
H559 [H8735]
it shall be said
H3290
of Jacob
H3478
and of Israel
H410
, What hath God
H6466 [H8804]
wrought!
24
H5971
Behold, the people
H6965 [H8799]
shall rise up
H3833
as a great lion
H5375 [H8691]
, and lift up
H738
himself as a young lion
H7901 [H8799]
: he shall not lie down
H398 [H8799]
until he shall eat
H2964
of the prey
H8354 [H8799]
, and drink
H1818
the blood
H2491
of the slain.
25
H1111
And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam
H5344 [H8799]
, Neither curse
H6895 [H8800]
them at all
H1288 [H8762]
, nor bless
H1288 [H8763]
them at all.
26
H1109
But Balaam
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H1111
to Balak
H1696 [H8765]
, Did I not tell
H559 [H8800]
thee, saying
H3068
, All that the LORD
H1696 [H8762]
speaketh
H6213 [H8799]
, that I must do?
27
H1111
And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam
H3212 [H8798]
, Come
H3947 [H8799]
, I pray thee, I will bring
H312
thee to another
H4725
place
H3474 H5869 [H8799]
; perhaps it will please
H430
God
H6895 [H8804]
that thou mayest from there curse them for me.
28
H1111
And Balak
H3947 [H8799]
brought
H1109
Balaam
H7218
to the top
H6465
of Peor
H8259 [H8737]
, that looketh
H6440
toward
H3452
Jeshimon.
