|
|

|
|
8. How shall I curse him whom God has not cursed? And how shall I rage at him at whom Jehovah has not raged?
|
8. How H4100 shall I curse H6895 , whom God H410 hath not H3808 cursed H6895 ? or how H4100 shall I defy H2194 , whom the LORD H3068 hath not H3808 defied H2194 ?
|
|
9. For from the top of the rocks I see him, and I behold him from the heights. Behold, it is a people that shall dwell alone and not be reckoned among the nations.
|
9. For H3588 from the top H4480 H7218 of the rocks H6697 I see H7200 him , and from the hills H4480 H1389 I behold H7789 him: lo H2005 , the people H5971 shall dwell H7931 alone H910 , and shall not H3808 be reckoned H2803 among the nations H1471 .
|
|

|
10. Who H4310 can count H4487 the dust H6083 of Jacob H3290 , and the number H4557 of H853 the fourth H7255 part of Israel H3478 ? Let me H5315 die H4191 the death H4194 of the righteous H3477 , and let my last end H319 be H1961 like his H3644 !
|
|

|
|
12. And he replied and said, Must not I take heed to speak what Jehovah has put in my mouth?
|
12. And he answered H6030 and said H559 , Must I not H3808 take heed H8104 to speak H1696 that H853 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath put H7760 in my mouth H6310 ?
|
|
13. And Balak said to him, Now come with me to another place where you will see it; only you will see its edge and shall not see all of it; and curse it for me there.
|
13. And Balak H1111 said H559 unto H413 him, Come H1980 , I pray thee H4994 , with H854 me unto H413 another H312 place H4725 , from whence H834 H4480 H8033 thou mayest see H7200 them : thou shalt see H7200 but H657 the utmost part H7097 of them , and shalt not H3808 see H7200 them all H3605 : and curse H6895 me them from thence H4480 H8033 .
|
|
14. And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on the altar.
|
14. And he brought H3947 him into the field H7704 of Zophim H6839 , to H413 the top H7218 of Pisgah H6449 , and built H1129 seven H7651 altars H4196 , and offered H5927 a bullock H6499 and a ram H352 on every altar H4196 .

16. And the LORD H3068 met H7136 H413 Balaam H1109 , and put H7760 a word H1697 in his mouth H6310 , and said H559 , Go again H7725 unto H413 Balak H1111 , and say H1696 thus H3541 .
|
|
17. And he came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, and Moab's chiefs with him. And he said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
|
17. And when he came H935 to H413 him, behold H2009 , he stood H5324 by H5921 his burnt offering H5930 , and the princes H8269 of Moab H4124 with H854 him . And Balak H1111 said H559 unto him, What H4100 hath the LORD H3068 spoken H1696 ?
|
|
18. And he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; give ear to me, son of Zippor.
|
18. And he took up H5375 his parable H4912 , and said H559 , Rise up H6965 , Balak H1111 , and hear H8085 ; hearken H238 unto H5704 me , thou son H1121 of Zippor H6834 :
|
|
19. God is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
|
19. God H410 is not H3808 a man H376 , that he should lie H3576 ; neither the son H1121 of man H120 , that he should repent H5162 : hath he H1931 said H559 , and shall he not H3808 do H6213 it ? or hath he spoken H1696 , and shall he not H3808 make it good H6965 ?
|
|
20. Behold, I have received word to bless; yes, He has blessed; I cannot reverse it.
|
20. Behold H2009 , I have received H3947 commandment to bless H1288 : and he hath blessed H1288 ; and I cannot H3808 reverse H7725 it.
|
|
21. He has seen no iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen mischief in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in him.
|
21. He hath not H3808 beheld H5027 iniquity H205 in Jacob H3290 , neither H3808 hath he seen H7200 perverseness H5999 in Israel H3478 : the LORD H3068 his God H430 is with H5973 him , and the shout H8643 of a king H4428 is among them.
|
|
22. God who brought them out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild ox.
|
22. God H410 brought them out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 ; he hath as it were the strength H8443 of a unicorn H7214 .
|
|
23. For there is not a spell against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. Now it is said of Jacob and Israel, See what God has done!
|
23. Surely H3588 there is no H3808 enchantment H5173 against Jacob H3290 , neither H3808 is there any divination H7081 against Israel H3478 : according to this time H6256 it shall be said H559 of Jacob H3290 and of Israel H3478 , What H4100 hath God H410 wrought H6466 !
|
|
24. Behold, the people shall rise like a lioness and as a lion he shall lift himself up; he shall not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
|
24. Behold H2005 , the people H5971 shall rise up H6965 as a great lion H3833 , and lift up himself H5375 as a young lion H738 : he shall not H3808 lie down H7901 until H5704 he eat H398 of the prey H2964 , and drink H8354 the blood H1818 of the slain H2491 .
|
|
25. And Balak said to Balaam, Do not curse it at all, nor bless it at all.
|
25. And Balak H1111 said H559 unto H413 Balaam H1109 , Neither H1571 H3808 curse them at all H6895 H6895 , nor H1571 H3808 bless them at all H1288 H1288 .
|
|
26. And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not speak to you, saying, All that Jehovah speaks, that I will do?
|
26. But Balaam H1109 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 Balak H1111 , Told H1696 H413 not H3808 I thee, saying H559 , All H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 speaketh H1696 , that I must do H6213 ?
|
|
27. And Balak said to Balaam, Come, please, I will take you to another place. It may be that it will be right in the eyes of God to curse it for me from there.
|
27. And Balak H1111 said H559 unto H413 Balaam H1109 , Come H1980 , I pray thee H4994 , I will bring H3947 thee unto H413 another H312 place H4725 ; peradventure H194 it will please H3474 H5869 God H430 that thou mayest curse H6895 me them from thence H4480 H8033 .
|
|
28. And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks toward the wilderness.
|
28. And Balak H1111 brought H3947 H853 Balaam H1109 unto the top H7218 of Peor H6465 , that looketh H8259 toward H5921 H6440 Jeshimon H3452 .
|
|
29. And Balaam said to Balak, Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.
|
29. And Balaam H1109 said H559 unto H413 Balak H1111 , Build H1129 me here H2088 seven H7651 altars H4196 , and prepare H3559 me here H2088 seven H7651 bullocks H6499 and seven H7651 rams H352 .
|
|
30. And Balak did as Balaam said; and he offered a bull and a ram on the altar.
|
30. And Balak H1111 did H6213 as H834 Balaam H1109 had said H559 , and offered H5927 a bullock H6499 and a ram H352 on every altar H4196 .
