Numbers 24:1--25:18

24:1

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>_.

24:15

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)_:

24:16

He hath said
<05002> (8803)_,

which heard
<08085> (8802)

the words
<0561>

of God
<0410>_,

and knew
<03045> (8802)

the knowledge
<01847>

of the most High
<05945>_,

[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)_:

24:17

I shall see
<07200> (8799)

him, but not now: I shall behold
<07789> (8799)

him, but not nigh
<07138>_:

there shall come
<01869> (8804)

a Star
<03556>

out of Jacob
<03290>_,

and a Sceptre
<07626>

shall rise
<06965> (8804)

out of Israel
<03478>_,

and shall smite
<04272> (8804)

the corners
<06285>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and destroy
<06979> (8773)

all the children
<01121>

of Sheth
<08352> (8676) <08351>_.

{smite...: or, smite through the princes of}

24:18

And Edom
<0123>

shall be a possession
<03424>_,

Seir
<08165>

also shall be a possession
<03424>

for his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

and Israel
<03478>

shall do
<06213> (8802)

valiantly
<02428>_.

24:19

Out of Jacob
<03290>

shall come he that shall have dominion
<07287> (8799)_,

and shall destroy
<06> (8689)

him that remaineth
<08300>

of the city
<05892>_.

24:20

And when he looked
<07200> (8799)

on Amalek
<06002>_,

he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amalek
<06002>

[was] the first
<07225>

of the nations
<01471>_;

but his latter
<0319>

end [shall be] that he perish
<08>

for ever
<05703>_.

{the nations: the nations that warred against Israel} {that...: or, even to destruction}

24:21

And he looked
<07200> (8799)

on the Kenites
<07017>_,

and took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Strong
<0386>

is thy dwellingplace
<04186>_,

and thou puttest
<07760> (8798)

thy nest
<07064>

in a rock
<05553>_.

24:22

Nevertheless the Kenite
<07014>

shall
<0518>

be wasted
<01197> (8763)_,

until Asshur
<0804>

shall carry thee away captive
<07617> (8799)_.

{the Kenite: Heb. Kain} {until...: or, how long shall it be ere Asshur carry thee away captive}

24:23

And he took up
<05375> (8799)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0188>_,

who shall live
<02421> (8799)

when God
<0410>

doeth
<07760> (8800)

this!

24:24

And ships
<06716>

[shall come] from the coast
<03027>

of Chittim
<03794>_,

and shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

Asshur
<0804>_,

and shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

Eber
<05677>_,

and he also shall perish
<08>

for ever
<05703>_.

24:25

And Balaam
<01109>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to his place
<04725>_:

and Balak
<01111>

also went
<01980> (8804)

his way
<01870>_.

25:1

And Israel
<03478>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Shittim
<07851>_,

and the people
<05971>

began
<02490> (8686)

to commit whoredom
<02181> (8800)

with the daughters
<01323>

of Moab
<04124>_.

25:2

And they called
<07121> (8799)

the people
<05971>

unto the sacrifices
<02077>

of their gods
<0430>_:

and the people
<05971>

did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and bowed down
<07812> (8691)

to their gods
<0430>_.

25:3

And Israel
<03478>

joined
<06775> (8735)

himself unto Baalpeor
<01187>_:

and the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_.

25:4

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

all the heads
<07218>

of the people
<05971>_,

and hang them up
<03363> (8685)

before
<05048>

the LORD
<03068>

against the sun
<08121>_,

that the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

may be turned away
<07725> (8799)

from Israel
<03478>_.

25:5

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the judges
<08199> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

Slay
<02026> (8798)

ye every
<0376>

one
<0376>

his men
<0582>

that were joined
<06775> (8737)

unto Baalpeor
<01187>_.

25:6

And, behold, one
<0376>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8802)

and brought
<07126> (8686)

unto his brethren
<0251>

a Midianitish woman
<04084>

in the sight
<05869>

of Moses
<04872>_,

and in the sight
<05869>

of all the congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

who [were] weeping
<01058> (8802)

[before] the door
<06607>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_.

25:7

And when Phinehas
<06372>_,

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>_,

the son
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

the priest
<03548>_,

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], he rose up
<06965> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the congregation
<05712>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

a javelin
<07420>

in his hand
<03027>_;

25:8

And he went
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

the man
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

into the tent
<06898>_,

and thrust
<01856> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them through, the man
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the woman
<0802>

through
<0413>

her belly
<06897>_.

So the plague
<04046>

was stayed
<06113> (8735)

from the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

25:9

And those that died
<04191> (8801)

in the plague
<04046>

were twenty
<06242>

and four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>_.

25:10

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

25:11

Phinehas
<06372>_,

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>_,

the son
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

the priest
<03548>_,

hath turned
<07725> (0)

my wrath
<02534>

away
<07725> (8689)

from the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

while he was zealous
<07065> (8763)

for my sake
<07068>

among
<08432>

them, that I consumed
<03615> (8765)

not the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

in my jealousy
<07068>_.

{for...: Heb. with my zeal}

25:12

Wherefore say
<0559> (8798)_,

Behold, I give
<05414> (8802)

unto him my covenant
<01285>

of peace
<07965>_:

25:13

And he shall have it, and his seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

him, [even] the covenant
<01285>

of an everlasting
<05769>

priesthood
<03550>_;

because
<0834>

he was zealous
<07065> (8765)

for his God
<0430>_,

and made an atonement
<03722> (8762)

for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

25:14

Now the name
<08034>

of the Israelite
<0376>

that was slain
<05221> (8716)_,

[even] that was slain
<05221> (8717)

with the Midianitish woman
<04084>_,

[was] Zimri
<02174>_,

the son
<01121>

of Salu
<05543>_,

a prince
<05387>

of a chief
<01>

house
<01004>

among the Simeonites
<08099>_.

{chief...: Heb. house of a father}

25:15

And the name
<08034>

of the Midianitish
<04084>

woman
<0802>

that was slain
<05221> (8716)

[was] Cozbi
<03579>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Zur
<06698>_;

he [was] head
<07218>

over a people
<0523>_,

[and] of a chief
<01>

house
<01004>

in Midian
<04080>_.

25:16

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

25:17

Vex
<06887> (8800)

the Midianites
<04084>_,

and smite
<05221> (8689)

them:

25:18

For they vex
<06887> (8802)

you with their wiles
<05231>_,

wherewith they have beguiled
<05230> (8765)

you in the matter
<01697>

of Peor
<06465>_,

and in the matter
<01697>

of Cozbi
<03579>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of a prince
<05387>

of Midian
<04080>_,

their sister
<0269>_,

which was slain
<05221> (8716)

in the day
<03117>

of the plague
<04046>

for Peor's
<06465>

sake
<01697>_.
