1 And Balaam1109 said559 unto413 Balak,1111 Build1129 me here2088 seven7651 altars,4196 and prepare3559 me here2088 seven7651 oxen6499 and seven7651 rams.352
|
2 And Balak1111 did6213 as834 Balaam1109 had spoken;1696 and Balak1111 and Balaam1109 offered5927 on every altar4196 a bullock6499 and a ram.352
|
3 And Balaam1109 said559 unto Balak,1111 Stand3320 by5921 thy burnt offering,5930 and I will go:1980 peradventure194 the LORD3068 will come7136 to meet7125 me: and whatsoever1697 4100 he showeth7200 me I will tell5046 thee. And he went1980 to a high place.8205
|
4 And God430 met7136 413 Balaam:1109 and he said559 unto413 him, I have prepared6186 853 seven7651 altars,4196 and I have offered5927 upon every altar4196 a bullock6499 and a ram.352
|
5 And the LORD3068 put7760 a word1697 in Balaam's1109 mouth,6310 and said,559 Return7725 unto413 Balak,1111 and thus3541 thou shalt speak.1696
|
6 And he returned7725 unto413 him, and, lo,2009 he stood5324 by5921 his burnt sacrifice,5930 he,1931 and all3605 the princes8269 of Moab.4124
|
7 And he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Balak1111 the king4428 of Moab4124 hath brought5148 me from4480 Aram,758 out of the mountains4480 2042 of the east,6924 saying, Come,1980 curse779 me Jacob,3290 and come,1980 defy2194 Israel.3478
|
8 How4100 shall I curse,6895 whom God410 hath not3808 cursed?6895 or how4100 shall I defy,2194 whom the LORD3068 hath not3808 defied?2194
|
9 For3588 from the top4480 7218 of the rocks6697 I see7200 him, and from the hills4480 1389 I behold7789 him: lo,2005 the people5971 shall dwell7931 alone,910 and shall not3808 be reckoned2803 among the nations.1471
|
10 Who4310 can count4487 the dust6083 of Jacob,3290 and the number4557 of853 the fourth7255 part of Israel?3478 Let me5315 die4191 the death4194 of the righteous,3477 and let my last end319 be1961 like his!3644
|
11 And Balak1111 said559 unto413 Balaam,1109 What4100 hast thou done6213 unto me? I took3947 thee to curse6895 mine enemies,341 and, behold,2009 thou hast blessed them altogether.1288 1288
|
12 And he answered6030 and said,559 Must I not3808 take heed8104 to speak1696 that853 which834 the LORD3068 hath put7760 in my mouth?6310
|
13 And Balak1111 said559 unto413 him, Come,1980 I pray thee,4994 with854 me unto413 another312 place,4725 from whence834 4480 8033 thou mayest see7200 them: thou shalt see7200 but657 the utmost part7097 of them, and shalt not3808 see7200 them all:3605 and curse6895 me them from thence.4480 8033
|
14 And he brought3947 him into the field7704 of Zophim,6839 to413 the top7218 of Pisgah,6449 and built1129 seven7651 altars,4196 and offered5927 a bullock6499 and a ram352 on every altar.4196
|
15 And he said559 unto413 Balak,1111 Stand3320 here3541 by5921 thy burnt offering,5930 while I595 meet7136 the LORD yonder.3541
|
16 And the LORD3068 met7136 413 Balaam,1109 and put7760 a word1697 in his mouth,6310 and said,559 Go again7725 unto413 Balak,1111 and say1696 thus.3541
|
17 And when he came935 to413 him, behold,2009 he stood5324 by5921 his burnt offering,5930 and the princes8269 of Moab4124 with854 him. And Balak1111 said559 unto him, What4100 hath the LORD3068 spoken?1696
|
18 And he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Rise up,6965 Balak,1111 and hear;8085 hearken238 unto5704 me, thou son1121 of Zippor: 6834
|
19 God410 is not3808 a man,376 that he should lie;3576 neither the son1121 of man,120 that he should repent:5162 hath he1931 said,559 and shall he not3808 do6213 it? or hath he spoken,1696 and shall he not3808 make it good?6965
|
20 Behold,2009 I have received3947 commandment to bless:1288 and he hath blessed;1288 and I cannot3808 reverse7725 it.
|
21 He hath not3808 beheld5027 iniquity205 in Jacob,3290 neither3808 hath he seen7200 perverseness5999 in Israel:3478 the LORD3068 his God430 is with5973 him, and the shout8643 of a king4428 is among them.
|
22 God410 brought them out3318 of Egypt;4480 4714 he hath as it were the strength8443 of a unicorn.7214
|
23 Surely3588 there is no3808 enchantment5173 against Jacob,3290 neither3808 is there any divination7081 against Israel:3478 according to this time6256 it shall be said559 of Jacob3290 and of Israel,3478 What4100 hath God410 wrought!6466
|
24 Behold,2005 the people5971 shall rise up6965 as a great lion,3833 and lift up himself5375 as a young lion:738 he shall not3808 lie down7901 until5704 he eat398 of the prey,2964 and drink8354 the blood1818 of the slain.2491
|
25 And Balak1111 said559 unto413 Balaam,1109 Neither1571 3808 curse them at all,6895 6895 nor1571 3808 bless them at all.1288 1288
|
26 But Balaam1109 answered6030 and said559 unto413 Balak,1111 Told1696 413 not3808 I thee, saying,559 All3605 that834 the LORD3068 speaketh,1696 that I must do?6213
|
27 And Balak1111 said559 unto413 Balaam,1109 Come,1980 I pray thee,4994 I will bring3947 thee unto413 another312 place;4725 peradventure194 it will please3474 5869 God430 that thou mayest curse6895 me them from thence.4480 8033
|
28 And Balak1111 brought3947 853 Balaam1109 unto the top7218 of Peor,6465 that looketh8259 toward5921 6440 Jeshimon.3452
|
29 And Balaam1109 said559 unto413 Balak,1111 Build1129 me here2088 seven7651 altars,4196 and prepare3559 me here2088 seven7651 bullocks6499 and seven7651 rams.352
|
30 And Balak1111 did6213 as834 Balaam1109 had said,559 and offered5927 a bullock6499 and a ram352 on every altar.4196
