RF NUM 23:1 Then Balaam said to Balak; "Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bullocks and seven rams."
RF NUM 23:2 Balak accordingly did as Balaam said, and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
RF NUM 23:3 Then Balaam said to Balak; "Stand here by your offerings, and I will go yonder to meet the EVER-LIVING to inquire; and whatever He may show me I will report to you."
RF NUM 23:4 So he went to a cliff, where Balaam met GOD and said to Him; "I have built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on each altar."
RF NUM 23:5 The EVER-LIVING then put a speech into the mouth of Balaam, and said;—"Return to Balak and say thus;—"
RF NUM 23:6 So he returned to Balak, who stood by his offerings;—he, and all the Princes of Moab,
RF NUM 23:7 and he there began his poem and said;—
Balaam's Prophecy:
BALAAM: From Aram, Balak,
Moab's king brought me,—
From the hills of the East I have come. "
BALAK. "Curse for me Jacob; insult for me Israel! "
BALAAM. "How can I curse, whom GOD has not cursed?
RF NUM 23:8 How can I insult, whom JEHOVAH insults not?
RF NUM 23:9 Whom I see from the top of the rocks,
And from the hills I survey him—
A People dwelling alone,
And not mixed up with the nations!—
RF NUM 23:10 Who can number the dust of Jacob?
Who can count Israel's increase?
Let my life die the death of the righteous!
Let my last days be like to his!"
RF NUM 23:11 Then Balak exclaimed to Balaam, "What have you done for me? I instructed you to curse my enemies! And yet you have blessed them!"
RF NUM 23:12 But he answered and said, "Was it not what the EVER-LIVING put into my mouth?—I was obliged to speak it."
RF NUM 23:13 Balak, however, answered him, "Come, then, with me to another place, where you can look and only see a part of the encampment, and not survey the whole;—and curse them from there!"
RF NUM 23:14 The Second Sacrifice of Balak and Balaam.
So he took him to the Field of Towers, at the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on each altar.
RF NUM 23:15 Then he said to Balak, "Stand here by the offerings and I will go yonder."
RF NUM 23:16 And the EVER-LIVING met Balaam and put a speech in his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak and say thus;—"
RF NUM 23:17 So he went to him, and found him standing by his offerings, and the princes of Moab with him, and Balak asked him, "What does the EVER-LIVING command?"
RF NUM 23:18 Then he began his poem and said;—
The Second Prophecy of Balaam.
"Stand up, Balak, and hear! Listen intently, son of Tzifor!
RF NUM 23:19 GOD is not a man to lie;—Or a son of man to change his purpose!
HE has said!—and will HE not do? And spoken!—will HE not perform?
RF NUM 23:20 Blessing, HE ordered me to bless,—And I cannot reverse it!
RF NUM 23:21 He perceived no fault in Jacob, And saw not in Israel wrong!
The LIVING GOD is with him, And a Kingly Cheer is his!
RF NUM 23:22 GOD brought him up from Mitzer; He is like to a mighty bull
RF NUM 23:23 There is no chain for Jacob,—For Israel no subjector!
In time they will say of Jacob and Israel,
What wonders GOD has done!
RF NUM 23:24 See the People! how it advances!
Like a lion it rears and stands!
It lies not down till the prey is devoured,
And its thirst is quenched in blood!
RF NUM 23:25 Balak then exclaimed to Balaam, "Alas! cursing, you have not cursed! but blessing you have blessed!"
RF NUM 23:26 But Balaam responded, and said to Balak, "Did I not tell you this, saying—All that the EVER-LIVING commands to me I must do?"
RF NUM 23:27 The Third Sacrifice of Balak and Balaam.
And Balak answered to Balaam, "Come now,—I will take you to another place. Perhaps it may be right in the eyes of the Gods, and they may curse for me from there."
RF NUM 23:28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of the Gorge of Paur;—to the cliff opposite the desert.
RF NUM 23:29 There Balaam said to Balak, "Build for me here seven altars and prepare for me seven bullocks and seven rams."
RF NUM 23:30 And Balak did as Balaam told him and offered a bullock and a ram on each altar.
