V.1 And when Balaam 1109 saw 7200-4 that it pleased 5869 2895-1 the LORD 3068 to bless 1288-15 Israel, 3478 he went 1980-1 not, as at other times, 6471 6471 to seek 7125-2 for enchantments, 5173 but he set 7896-4 his face 6440 toward the wilderness. 4057

24:2 And Balaam 1109 lifted up 5375-4 his eyes, 5869 and he saw 7200-4 Israel 3478 abiding 7931-6 [in his tents] according to their tribes; 7626 and the spirit 7307 of God 430 came upon him.

24:3 And he took up 5375-4 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 hath said, 5002-7 and the man 1397 whose eyes 5869 are open 8365-7 hath said: 5002- 7

24:4 He hath said, 5002-7 which heard 8085-6 the words 561 of God, 410 which saw 2372-4 the vision 4236 of the Almighty, 7706 falling 5307-6 [into a trance], but having his eyes 5869 open: 1540-7

24:5 How goodly 2895-1 are thy tents, 168 O Jacob, 3290 [and] thy tabernacles, 4908 O Israel! 3478

24:6 As the valleys 5158 are they spread forth, 5186-8 as gardens 1593 by the river's 5104 side, as the trees of lign aloes 174 which the LORD 3068 hath planted, 5193-1 [and] as cedar trees 730 beside the waters. 4325

24:7 He shall pour 5140-4 the water 4325 out of his buckets, 1805 and his seed 2233 [shall be] in many 7227 waters, 4325 and his king 4428 shall be higher 7311-4 than Agag, 90 and his kingdom 4438 shall be exalted. 5375-101

24:8 God 410 brought him forth 3318-56 out of Egypt; 4714 he hath as it were the strength 8443 of an unicorn: 7214 he shall eat 398-4 up the nations 1471 his enemies, 6862 and shall break 1633-17 their bones, 6106 and pierce 4272-4 [them] through with his arrows. 2671

24:9 He couched, 3766-1 he lay down 7901-1 as a lion, 738 and as a great lion: 3833 who shall stir him up? 6965-55 Blessed 1288-7 [is] he that blesseth 1288-18 thee, and cursed 779-7 [is] he that curseth 779-6 thee.

24:10 And Balak's 1111 anger 639 was kindled 2734-4 against Balaam, 1109 and he smote 5606-4 his hands 3709 together: and Balak 1111 said 559-4 unto Balaam, 1109 I called 7121-1 thee to curse 6895-2 mine enemies, 341-6 and, behold, thou hast altogether 1288-15 blessed 1288-14 [them] these three 7969 times. 6471

24:11 Therefore now flee 1272-3 thou to thy place: 4725 I thought 559-1 to promote thee unto great 3513-15 honour; 3513-17 but, lo, the LORD 3068 hath kept thee back 4513-1 from honour. 3519

24:12 And Balaam 1109 said 559-4 unto Balak, 1111 Spake 1696- 14 I not also to thy messengers 4397 which thou sentest 7971- 1 unto me, saying, 559-2

24:13 If Balak 1111 would give 5414-4 me his house 1004 full 4393 of silver 3701 and gold, 2091 I cannot 3808 3201-4 go beyond 5674-2 the commandment 6310 of the LORD, 3068 to do 6213-2 [either] good 2896 or bad 7451 of mine own mind; 3820 [but] what the LORD 3068 saith, 1696-17 that will I speak? 1696-17

24:14 And now, behold, I go 1980-6 unto my people: 5971 come 3212-3 [therefore, and] I will advertise 3289-4 thee what this people 5971 shall do 6213-4 to thy people 5971 in the latter 319 days. 3117

24:15 And he took up 5375-4 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 hath said, 5002-7 and the man 1397 whose eyes 5869 are open 8365-7 hath said: 5002- 7

24:16 He hath said, 5002-7 which heard 8085-6 the words 561 of God, 410 and knew 3045-6 the knowledge 1847 of the most High, 5945 [which] saw 2372-4 the vision 4236 of the Almighty, 7706 falling 5307-6 [into a trance], but having his eyes 5869 open: 1540-7

24:17 I shall see 7200-4 him, but not now: I shall behold 7789-4 him, but not nigh: 7138 there shall come 1869-1 a Star 3556 out of Jacob, 3290 and a Sceptre 7626 shall rise 6965-1 out of Israel, 3478 and shall smite 4272-1 the corners 6285 of Moab, 4124 and destroy 6979-43 all the children 1121 of Sheth. 8352|8351

24:18 And Edom 123 shall be a possession, 3424 Seir 8165 also shall be a possession 3424 for his enemies; 341-6 and Israel 3478 shall do 6213-6 valiantly. 2428

24:19 Out of Jacob 3290 shall come he that shall have dominion, 7287-4 and shall destroy 6-52 him that remaineth 8300 of the city. 5892

24:20 And when he looked 7200-4 on Amalek, 6002 he took up 5375-4 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4 Amalek 6002 [was] the first 7225 of the nations; 1471 but his latter end 319 [shall be] that he perish 8 for ever. 5703

24:21 And he looked 7200-4 on the Kenites, 7017 and took up 5375-4 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4 Strong 386 is thy dwellingplace, 4186 and thou puttest 7760-3 thy nest 7064 in a rock. 5553

24:22 Nevertheless 518 the Kenite 7014 shall be wasted, 1197- 15 until Asshur 804 shall carry thee away captive. 7617-4

24:23 And he took up 5375-4 his parable, 4912 and said, 559-4 Alas, 188 who shall live 2421-4 when God 410 doeth 7760-2 this!

24:24 And ships 6716 [shall come] from the coast 3027 of Chittim, 3794 and shall afflict 6031-14 Asshur, 804 and shall afflict 6031-14 Eber, 5677 and he also shall perish 8 for ever. 5703
