| [1]And BalaamH1109 saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129[H8798] me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559[H8685] me here sevenH7651 oxenH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352. |
[1]AND Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. |
| [2]And BalakH1111 didH6213[H8799] as BalaamH1109 had spokenH1696[H8765]; and BalakH1111 and BalaamH1109 offeredH5927[H8686] on every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352. |
[2]And Balak did as Balaam had told him; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. |
| [3]And BalaamH1109 saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, StandH3320[H8690] by thy burnt offeringH5930, and I will goH3212[H8799]: peradventure the LORDH3068 will comeH7136[H8735] to meetH7125[H8800] me: and whatsoeverH1697 he shewethH7200[H8686] me I will tellH5046[H8689] thee. And he wentH3212[H8799] to an high placeH8205. |
[3]And Balaam said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offerings, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. So he went away quietly. |
| [4]And GodH430 metH7136[H8735] BalaamH1109: and he saidH559[H8799] unto him, I have preparedH6186[H8804] sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and I have offeredH5927[H8686] upon every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352. |
[4]And God appeared to Balaam and said to him, You have prepared seven altars, and have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. |
| [5]And the LORDH3068 putH7760[H8799] a wordH1697 in Balaam'sH1109 mouthH6310, and saidH559[H8799], ReturnH7725[H8798] unto BalakH1111, and thus thou shalt speakH1696.[H8762] |
[5]Then the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth and said to him, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak. |
| [6]And he returnedH7725[H8799] unto him, and, lo, he stoodH5324[H8737] by his burnt sacrificeH5930, he, and all the princesH8269 of MoabH4124. |
[6]And he returned to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offerings, he and all the princes of Moab. |
| [7]And he took upH5375[H8799] his parableH4912, and saidH559[H8799], BalakH1111 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath broughtH5148[H8686] me from AramH758, out of the mountainsH2042 of the eastH6924, saying, ComeH3212[H8798], curseH779[H8798] me JacobH3290, and comeH3212[H8798], defyH2194[H8798] IsraelH3478. |
[7]And he took up his parable and said, Balak the king of the Moabites has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, destroy Israel for me. |
| [8]HowH4100 shall I curseH5344[H8799], whom GodH410 hath not cursedH6895[H8804]? or how shall I defyH2194[H8799], whom the LORDH3068 hath not defiedH2194?[H8804] |
[8]How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I destroy whom the LORD has not destroyed? |
| [9]For from the topH7218 of the rocksH6697 I seeH7200[H8799] him, and from the hillsH1389 I beholdH7789[H8799] him: lo, the peopleH5971 shall dwellH7931[H8799] aloneH910, and shall not be reckonedH2803[H8691] among the nationsH1471. |
[9]For from the top of the mountains I see him, and from the hills I behold him; lo, the people are dwelling alone and are not reckoned among the nations. |
| [10]Who can countH4487[H8804] the dustH6083 of JacobH3290, and the numberH4557 of the fourthH7255 part of IsraelH3478? Let me dieH4191[H8799][H5315] the deathH4194 of the righteousH3477, and let my last end be like hisH319! |
[10]Who can count the multitude of the descendants of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like theirs! |
| [11]And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto BalaamH1109, What hast thou doneH6213[H8804] unto me? I tookH3947[H8804] thee to curseH6895[H8800] mine enemiesH341[H8802], and, behold, thou hast blessedH1288[H8765] them altogetherH1288.[H8763] |
[11]And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have surely blessed them. |
| [12]And he answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Must I not take heedH8104[H8799] to speakH1696[H8763] that which the LORDH3068 hath putH7760[H8799] in my mouthH6310? |
[12]And Balaam answered and said, Behold, whatever the LORD puts in my mouth that thing will I speak |
| [13]And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto him, ComeH3212[H8798], I pray thee, with me unto anotherH312 placeH4725, from whence thou mayest seeH7200[H8799] them: thou shalt seeH7200[H8799] butH657 the utmostH7097 part of them, and shalt not seeH7200[H8799] them all: and curseH6895 me them from thenceH8798. |
[13]And Balak said to him, Come with me to another place, from which you may see them; but you shall see the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all; and curse them for me from thence. |
| [14]And he broughtH3947[H8799] him into the fieldH7704 of ZophimH6839[H8677][H6822][H8802], to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, and builtH1129[H8799] sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and offeredH5927[H8686] a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 on every altarH4196. |
[14]And he brought him to the field of watchmen, to the top of the hill, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. |
| [15]And he saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, StandH3320[H8690] hereH3541 by thy burnt offeringH5930, while I meetH7136[H8735] the LORD yonderH3541. |
[15]And Balaam said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offerings while I go yonder. |
| [16]And the LORDH3068 metH7136[H8735] BalaamH1109, and putH7760[H8799] a wordH1697 in his mouthH6310, and saidH559[H8799], Go againH7725[H8798] unto BalakH1111, and sayH1696 thusH8762. |
[16]And the LORD appeared to Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said to him, Go again to Balak and say thus. |
| [17]And when he cameH935[H8799] to him, behold, he stoodH5324[H8737] by his burnt offeringH5930, and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 with him. And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto him, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?[H8765] |
[17]And when he came to him, he was standing by his burnt offerings, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has the LORD spoken? |
| [18]And he took upH5375[H8799] his parableH4912, and saidH559[H8799], Rise upH6965[H8798], BalakH1111, and hearH8085[H8798]; hearkenH238[H8685] unto me, thou sonH1121 of ZipporH6834: |
[18]And he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; and give ear to my testimony, O son of Zippor; |
| [19]GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576[H8762]; neither the sonH1121 of manH120, that he should repentH5162[H8691]: hath he saidH559[H8804], and shall he not doH6213[H8799] it? or hath he spokenH1696[H8765], and shall he not make it goodH6965?[H8686] |
[19]God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should be given counsel; he speaks and he shall do it, and his word abides for ever. |
| [20]Behold, I have receivedH3947[H8804] commandment to blessH1288[H8763]: and he hath blessedH1288[H8765]; and I cannot reverseH7725 itH8686. |
[20]Behold, I was brought here to bless; and I cannot reverse the blessing. |
| [21]He hath not beheldH5027[H8689] iniquityH205 in JacobH3290, neither hath he seenH7200[H8804] perversenessH5999 in IsraelH3478: the LORDH3068 his GodH430 is with him, and the shoutH8643 of a king is among themH4428. |
[21]I do not behold iniquity in Jacob, neither have I seen malice in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the glory of his King is among them. |
| [22]GodH410 brought them outH3318[H8688] of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214. |
[22]God brought them out of Egypt with his might and excellency. |
| [23]Surely there is no enchantmentH5173 against JacobH3290, neither is there any divinationH7081 against IsraelH3478: according to this timeH6256 it shall be saidH559[H8735] of JacobH3290 and of IsraelH3478, What hath GodH410 H6466wroughtH8804 |
[23]For there is no augury in Jacob, neither is there any divination in Israel; according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought! |
| [24]Behold, the peopleH5971 shall rise upH6965[H8799] as a great lionH3833, and lift upH5375[H8691] himself as a young lionH738: he shall not lie downH7901[H8799] until he eatH398[H8799] of the preyH2964, and drinkH8354[H8799] the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491. |
[24]Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion and march like a lion; he shall not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain. |
| [25]And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto BalaamH1109, Neither curseH5344[H8799] them at allH6895[H8800], nor blessH1288[H8762] them at allH1288.[H8763] |
[25]Then Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. |
| [26]But BalaamH1109 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, ToldH1696[H8765] not I thee, sayingH559[H8800], All that the LORDH3068 speakethH1696[H8762], that I must doH6213?[H8799] |
[26]But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you. All that the LORD speaks to me, that very thing I must do? |
| [27]And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto BalaamH1109, ComeH3212[H8798], I pray thee, I will bringH3947[H8799] thee unto anotherH312 placeH4725; peradventure it will pleaseH3474[H8799][H5869] GodH430 that thou mayest curseH6895 me them from thenceH8804. |
[27]And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there. |
| [28]And BalakH1111 broughtH3947[H8799] BalaamH1109 unto the topH7218 of PeorH6465, that lookethH8259[H8737] towardH6440 JeshimonH3452. |
[28]Then Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks toward Ashimon. |
| [29]And BalaamH1109 saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129[H8798] me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559[H8685] me here sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352. |
[29]And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars and prepare me seven bullocks and seven rams. |
| [30]And BalakH1111 didH6213[H8799] as BalaamH1109 had saidH559[H8804], and offeredH5927[H8686] a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 on every altarH4196. |
[30]And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar |
