And Balak
<01111>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Balaam

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

I pray thee, I will bring
<03947> (8799)

thee unto another
<0312>

place
<04725>_;

peradventure it will please
<03474> (8799) <05869>

God
<0430>

that thou mayest curse
<06895> (8804)

me them from thence.

<01111>

brought
<03947> (8799)

of Peor
<06465>_,

that looketh
<08259> (8737)

toward

<03452>_.

<01109>

<01129> (8798)

me here seven
<07651>

altars
<04196>_,

and prepare
<03559> (8685)

me here seven
<07651>

bullocks
<06499>

and seven
<07651>

rams
<0352>_.

23:30

And Balak
<01111>

did
<06213> (8799)

as Balaam
<01109>

had said
<0559> (8804)_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

a bullock
<06499>

and a ram
<0352>

on [every] altar
<04196>_.

And when Balaam
<01109>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that it pleased
<05869> <02895> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to bless
<01288> (8763)

Israel
<03478>_,

he went
<01980> (8804)

not, as at other times
<06471>_,

to seek
<07125> (8800)

for enchantments
<05173>_,

but he set
<07896> (8799)

his face
<06440>

toward the wilderness
<04057>_.

{to seek...: Heb. to the meeting of}

24:2

And Balaam
<01109>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and he saw
<07200> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

abiding
<07931> (8802)

[in his tents] according to their tribes
<07626>_;

and the spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

came upon him.

24:3

And he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

hath said
<05002> (8803)_,

and the man
<01397>

whose eyes
<05869>

are open
<08365> (8803)

hath said
<05002> (8803)_:

{whose...: Heb. who had his eyes shut, but now opened}

24:4

He hath said
<05002> (8803)_,

which heard
<08085> (8802)

the words
<0561>

of God
<0410>_,

which saw
<02372> (8799)

the vision
<04236>

of the Almighty
<07706>_,

falling
<05307> (8802)

[into a trance], but having his eyes
<05869>

open
<01540> (8803)_:

24:5

How goodly
<02895> (8804)

are thy tents
<0168>_,

O Jacob
<03290>_,

[and] thy tabernacles
<04908>_,

O Israel
<03478>_!

24:6

As the valleys
<05158>

are they spread forth
<05186> (8738)_,

as gardens
<01593>

by the river's side
<05104>_,

as the trees of lign aloes
<0174>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath planted
<05193> (8804)_,

[and] as cedar trees
<0730>

beside the waters
<04325>_.

24:7

He shall pour
<05140> (0)

the water
<04325>

out
<05140> (8799)

of his buckets
<01805>_,

and his seed
<02233>

[shall be] in many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_,

and his king
<04428>

shall be higher
<07311> (8799)

than Agag
<090>_,

and his kingdom
<04438>

shall be exalted
<05375> (8691)_.

24:8

God
<0410>

brought him forth
<03318> (8688)

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

he hath as it were the strength
<08443>

of an unicorn
<07214>_:

he shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

the nations
<01471>

his enemies
<06862>_,

and shall break
<01633> (8762)

their bones
<06106>_,

and pierce
<04272> (8799)

[them] through with his arrows
<02671>_.

24:9

He couched
<03766> (8804)_,

he lay down
<07901> (8804)

as a lion
<0738>_,

and as a great lion
<03833>_:

who shall stir him up
<06965> (8686)_?

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[is] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

thee, and cursed
<0779> (8803)

[is] he that curseth
<0779> (8802)

thee.

24:10

And Balak's
<01111>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Balaam
<01109>_,

and he smote
<05606> (0)

his hands
<03709>

together
<05606> (8799)_:

and Balak
<01111>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Balaam
<01109>_,

I called
<07121> (8804)

thee to curse
<06895> (8800)

mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and, behold, thou hast altogether
<01288> (8763)

blessed
<01288> (8765)

[them] these three
<07969>

times
<06471>_.

24:11

Therefore now flee
<01272> (8798)

thou to thy place
<04725>_:

I thought
<0559> (8804)

to promote
<03513> (0)

thee unto great
<03513> (8763)

honour
<03513> (8762)_;

but, lo, the LORD
<03068>

hath kept thee back
<04513> (8804)

from honour
<03519>_.

24:12

And Balaam
<01109>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Balak
<01111>_,

Spake
<01696> (8765)

I not also to thy messengers
<04397>

which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:13

If Balak
<01111>

would give
<05414> (8799)

me his house
<01004>

full
<04393>

of silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go beyond
<05674> (8800)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[either] good
<02896>

or bad
<07451>

of mine own mind
<03820>_;

[but] what the LORD
<03068>

saith
<01696> (8762)_,

that will I speak
<01696> (8762)_?

24:14

And now, behold, I go
<01980> (8802)

unto my people
<05971>_:

come
<03212> (8798)

[therefore, and] I will advertise
<03289> (8799)

thee what this people
<05971>

shall do
<06213> (8799)

to thy people
<05971>

in the latter
<0319>

days
<03117>_.
