And when the donkey saw the angel of the <sc>Lordsc>, she pressed herself into the wall, and crushed Balaam&#8217;s foot against the wall. So he beat her again.<n id="1" />p>

When the donkey saw the angel of the <sc>Lordsc>, she crouched down under Balaam. Then Balaam was angry, and he beat his donkey with a staff.p>

Then the <sc>Lordsc> opened Balaam&#8217;s eyes, and he saw the angel of the <sc>Lordsc> standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand; so he bowed his head and threw himself down with his face to the ground.<n id="1" />

The donkey saw me and turned from me these three times. If<n id="1" /> she had not turned from me, I would have killed you but saved her alive.&#8221;

Then on the next morning Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to Bamoth Baal.<n id="1" /> From there he saw the extent of the nation.p>

Balaam said to Balak, &#8220;Station yourself<n id="1" /> by your burnt offering, and I will go off; perhaps the <sc>Lordsc> will come to meet me, and whatever he reveals to me<n id="2" /> I will tell you.&#8221;<n id="3" /> Then he went to a deserted height.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">For from the top of the rocks I see them;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">from the hills I watch them.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">Indeed, a nation that lives alone,p> <p class="poetry">and it will not be reckoned<n id="3" /> among the nations.p>

<p class="poetry">He<n id="1" /> has not looked on iniquity in Jacob,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">nor has he seen trouble<n id="3" /> in Israel.p> <p class="poetry">The <sc>Lordsc> their God is with them;p> <p class="poetry">his acclamation<n id="4" /> as king is among them.p>

When Balaam lifted up his eyes, he saw Israel camped tribe by tribe;<n id="1" /> and the Spirit of God came upon him.

When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it,<n id="1" /> he got up from among the assembly, took a javelin in his hand,

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Then the <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;Go up this mountain of the Abarim range,<n id="2" /> and see<n id="3" /> the land I have given<n id="4" /> to the Israelites.

or with any stone large enough that a man could die, without seeing him, and throws it at him, and he dies, even though he was not his enemy nor sought his harm,

This is how the lampstand was made:<n id="1" /> It was beaten work in gold;<n id="2" /> from its shaft to its flowers it was beaten work. According to the pattern which the <sc>Lordsc> had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">They came back<n id="1" /> to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh.<n id="2" /> They reported<n id="3" /> to the whole community and showed the fruit of the land.

Then they presented the Israelites with a discouraging<n id="1" /> report of the land they had investigated, saying, &#8220;The land that we passed through<n id="2" /> to investigate is a land that devours<n id="3" /> its inhabitants.<n id="4" /> All the people we saw there<n id="5" /> are of great stature.

then they will tell it to the inhabitants<n id="1" /> of this land. They have heard that you, <sc>Lordsc>, are among this people, that you, <sc>Lord,sc> are seen face to face,<n id="2" /> that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.

For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted<n id="1" /> me now these ten times,<n id="2" /> and have not obeyed me,<n id="3" />

You must have this tassel so that you may look at it and remember all the commandments of the <sc>Lordsc> and obey them and so that you do not follow<n id="1" /> after your own heart and your own eyes that lead you to unfaithfulness.<n id="2" />

And the donkey saw the angel of the <sc>Lordsc> standing in the road with<n id="1" /> his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">When Balaam saw that it pleased the <sc>Lordsc> to bless Israel,<n id="2" /> he did not go as at the other times<n id="3" /> to seek for omens,<n id="4" /> but he set his face<n id="5" /> toward the wilderness.
