“He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob; Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: Jehovah his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them. God bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox. Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain. And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh, that I must do? And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert. And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. ”

“He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them. God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done! Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain." Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all." But Balaam answered Balak, "Didn't I tell you, saying, 'All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?'" Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse me them from there." Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert. Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams." Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”

“He has not looked on iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The LORD their God is with them; his acclamation as king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt. They have, as it were, the strength of a wild bull. For there is no spell against Jacob, nor is there any divination against Israel. At this time it must be said of Jacob and of Israel,‘Look at what God has done!’ Indeed, the people will rise up like a lioness, and like a lion raises himself up; they will not lie down until they eat their prey, and drink the blood of the slain.” Balaam Relocates Yet Again Balak said to Balaam,“Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!” But Balaam replied to Balak,“Did I not tell you,‘All that the LORD speaks, I must do’?” Balak said to Balaam,“Come, please; I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.” So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks toward the wastelands. Then Balaam said to Balak,“Build seven altars here for me, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams.” So Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”

“There is no idol in Jacob, neither is there an image god to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the sound of the victory of the king in him. God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros. There is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor divination in Israel. In their times it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God hath wrought. Behold the people shall rise up as a lioness, and shall lift itself up as a lion: it shall not lie down till it devour the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. And Balac said to Balaam: Neither curse, nor bless him. And he said: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that I would do? And Balac said to him: Come and I will bring thee to another place; if peradventure it please God that thou mayest curse them from thence. And when he had brought him upon the top of mount Phogor, which looketh towards the wilderness, Balaam said to him: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams. Balac did as Balaam had said: and he laid on every altar, a calf and a ram. ”

“He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them. It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox. No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done! See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death. Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing. But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says? Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there. So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land. And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me. And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.”

“He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do? And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. ”
