Text -- Numbers 23:21-30 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
23:21 He has not looked on iniquity in Jacob , nor has he seen trouble in Israel . The Lord their God is with them; his acclamation as king is among them.
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt . They have, as it were, the strength of a wild bull .
23:23 For there is no spell against Jacob , nor is there any divination against Israel . At this time it must be said of Jacob and of Israel , ‘Look at what God has done !’
23:24 Indeed , the people will rise up like a lioness , and like a lion raises himself up ; they will not lie down until they eat their prey , and drink the blood of the slain .”
Balaam Relocates Yet Again
23:25 Balak said to Balaam , “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all !”
23:26 But Balaam replied to Balak , “Did I not tell you, ‘All that the Lord speaks , I must do ’?”
23:27 Balak said to Balaam , “Come , please ; I will take you to another place . Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there .”
23:28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor , that looks toward the wilderness .
23:29 Then Balaam said to Balak , “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams .”
23:30 So Balak did as Balaam had said , and offered a bull and a ram on each altar .
