| [1]And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams. |
[1]And BalaamH1109 saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129[H8798] me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559[H8685] me here sevenH7651 oxenH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352. |
| [2]And Balac did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on every altar. |
[2]And BalakH1111 didH6213[H8799] as BalaamH1109 had spokenH1696[H8765]; and BalakH1111 and BalaamH1109 offeredH5927[H8686] on every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352. |
| [3]And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go and see if God will appear to me and meet me, and the word which he shall shew me, I will report to thee. And Balac stood by his sacrifice. |
[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. |
| [4]And Balaam went to enquire of God; and he went straight forward, and God appeared to Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and have offered a calf and a ram on every altar. |
[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. |
| [5]And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and said, thou shalt return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak. |
[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] |
| [6]And he returned to him, and moreover he stood over his whole-burnt-offerings, and all the princes of Moab with him; and the Spirit of God came upon him. |
[6]And he returnedH7725[H8799] unto him, and, lo, he stoodH5324[H8737] by his burnt sacrificeH5930, he, and all the princesH8269 of MoabH4124. |
| [7]And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon Israel. |
[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. |
| [8]How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not? |
[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] |
| [9]For from the top of the mountains I shall see him, and from the hills I shall observe him: behold, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. |
[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. |
| [10]Who has exactly calculated the seed of Jacob, and who shall number the families of Israel? let my soul die with the souls of the righteous, and let my seed be as their seed. |
[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! |
| [11]And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed them. |
[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] |
| [12]And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this? |
[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? |
| [13]And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence. |
[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. |
| [14]And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried rock, and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on every altar. |
[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. |
| [15]And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God. |
[15]And he saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, StandH3320[H8690] hereH3541 by thy burnt offeringH5930, while I meetH7136[H8735] the LORD yonderH3541. |
| [16]And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak. |
[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. |
| [17]And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken? |
[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] |
| [18]And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor. |
[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: |
| [19]God is not as man to waver, nor as the son of man to be threatened; shall he say and not perform? shall he speak and not keep to his word? |
[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] |
| [20]Behold, I have received commandment to bless: I will bless, and not turn back. |
[20]Behold, I have receivedH3947[H8804] commandment to blessH1288[H8763]: and he hath blessedH1288[H8765]; and I cannot reverseH7725 itH8686. |
| [21]There shall not be trouble in Jacob, neither shall sorrow be seen in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, the glories of rulers are in him. |
[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. |
| [22]It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn. |
[22]GodH410 brought them outH3318[H8688] of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214. |
| [23]For there is no divination in Jacob, nor enchantment in Israel; in season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel what God shall perform. |
[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 |
| [24]Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion's whelp, and shall exalt himself as a lion; he shall not lie down till he have eaten the prey, and he shall drink the blood of the slain. |
[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. |
| [25]And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all. |
[25]And BalakH1111 saidH559[H8799] unto BalaamH1109, Neither curseH5344[H8799] them at allH6895[H8800], nor blessH1288[H8762] them at allH1288.[H8763] |
| [26]And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do? |
[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] |
| [27]And Balac said to Balaam, Come and I will remove thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence. |
[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. |
| [28]And Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness. |
[28]And BalakH1111 broughtH3947[H8799] BalaamH1109 unto the topH7218 of PeorH6465, that lookethH8259[H8737] towardH6440 JeshimonH3452. |
| [29]And Balaam said to Balac, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams. |
[29]And BalaamH1109 saidH559[H8799] unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129[H8798] me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559[H8685] me here sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352. |
| [30]And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on every altar. |
[30]And BalakH1111 didH6213[H8799] as BalaamH1109 had saidH559[H8804], and offeredH5927[H8686] a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 on every altarH4196. |
