And Balaam°
said°°
unto°
Balak,°
Build°°
me here°
seven°
altars,°
and prepare°°
me here°
seven°
oxen°
and seven°
rams.° |
|
23:2
And Bela{gr.Balac} did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on [every] altar. |
|
23:2
And Balak°
did°°
as°
Balaam°
had spoken;°°
and Balak°
and Balaam°
offered°°
on [every] altar°
a bullock°
and a ram.° |
|
23:3
And Balaam said to Bela{gr.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 Bela{gr.Balac} stood by his sacrifice. |
|
23:3
And Balaam°
said°°
unto Balak,°
Stand°°
by°
thy burnt offering,°
and I will go:°°°
peradventure°
Yahweh°
will come°°
to meet°°
me: and whatsoever°°
he sheweth°°
me I will tell°°
thee. And he went°°°
to an high place.° |
|
23:4
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. |
|
23:4
And Elohim°
met°°°
Balaam:°
and he said°°
unto°
him, I have prepared°°°
seven°
altars,°
and I have offered°°
upon [every] altar°
a bullock°
and a ram.° |
|
23:5
And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and said, thou shalt return to Bela{gr.Balac}, and thus shalt thou speak. |
|
23:5
And Yahweh°
put°°
a word°
in Balaam's°
mouth,°
and said,°°
Return°°
unto°
Balak,°
and thus°
thou shalt speak.°° |
|
23:6
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. |
|
23:6
And he returned°°
unto°
him, and, lo,°
he stood°°
by°
his burnt sacrifice,°
he,°
and all°
the princes°
of Moab.° |
|
23:7
And he took up his parable, and said, Bela{gr.Balac} king of Moab sent for me out of Padanaram{gr.Mesopotamia}, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon Israel. |
|
23:7
And he took up°°
his parable,°
and said,°°
Balak°
the king°
of Moab°
hath brought°°
me from°
Aram,°
out of the mountains°°
of the east,°
[saying], Come,°°°
curse°°
me Jacob,°
and come,°°°
defy°°
Israel.° |
|
23:8
How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not? |
|
23:8
How°
shall I curse,°°°
whom El°
hath not°
cursed?°°
or how°
shall I defy,°°
[whom] Yahweh°
hath not°
defied?°° |
|
23:9
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. |
|
23:9
For°
from the top°°
of the rocks°
I see°°
him, and from the hills°°
I behold°°
him: lo,°
the people°
shall dwell°°
alone,°
and shall not°
be reckoned°°
among the nations.° |
|
23:10
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. |
|
23:10
Who°
can count°°
the dust°
of Jacob,°
and the number°
of°
the fourth°
[part] of Israel?°
Let me°
die°°°
the death°
of the righteous,°
and let my last°
end°
be°
like his!° |
|
23:11
And Bela{gr.Balac} said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed [them]. |
|
23:11
And Balak°
said°°
unto°
Balaam,°
What°
hast thou done°°
unto me? I took°°
thee to curse°°
mine enemies,°°
and, behold,°
thou hast blessed°°
[them] altogether.°° |
|
23:12
And Balaam said to Bela{gr.Balac}, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this? |
|
23:12
And he answered°°
and said,°°
Must I not°
take heed°°
to speak°°
that°
which°
Yahweh°
hath put°°
in my mouth?° |
|
23:13
And Bela{gr.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. |
|
23:13
And Balak°
said°°
unto°
him, Come,°°°
I pray thee,°
with°
me unto°
another°
place,°
from whence°°°
thou mayest see°°
them: thou shalt see°°
but°
the utmost°
part°
of them, and shalt not°
see°°
them all:°
and curse°°
me them from thence.°° |
|
23:14 ¶
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. |
|
23:14 ¶
And he brought°°
him into the field°
of Zophim,°°°°
to°
the top°
of Pisgah,°
and built°°
seven°
altars,°
and offered°°
a bullock°
and a ram°
on [every] altar.° |
|
23:15
And Balaam said to Bela{gr.Balac}, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God. |
|
23:15
And he said°°
unto°
Balak,°
Stand°°
here°
by°
thy burnt offering,°
while I°
meet°°
[Yahweh] yonder.° |
|
23:16
And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Bela{gr.Balac}, and thus shalt thou speak. |
|
23:16
And Yahweh°
met°°°
Balaam,°
and put°°
a word°
in his mouth,°
and said,°°
Go again°°
unto°
Balak,°
and say°°
thus.° |
|
23:17
And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Bela{gr.Balac} said to him, What has the Lord spoken? |
|
23:17
And when he came°°
to°
him, behold,°
he stood°°
by°
his burnt offering,°
and the princes°
of Moab°
with°
him. And Balak°
said°°
unto him, What°
hath Yahweh°
spoken?°° |
|
23:18
And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Bela{gr.Balac}, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Zippor{gr.Sepphor}. |
|
23:18
And he took up°°
his parable,°
and said,°°
Rise up,°°
Balak,°
and hear;°°
hearken°°
unto°
me, thou son°
of Zippor:° |
|
23:19
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]? |
|
23:19
El°
[is] not°
a man,°
that he should lie;°°
neither the son°
of man,°
that he should repent:°°
hath he°
said,°°
and shall he not°
do°°
[it]? or hath he spoken,°°
and shall he not°
make it good?°° |
|
23:20
Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back. |
|
23:20
Behold,°
I have received°°
[commandment] to bless:°°
and he hath blessed;°°
and I cannot°
reverse°°
it. |
|
23:21
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. |
|
23:21
He hath not°
beheld°°
iniquity°
in Jacob,°
neither°
hath he seen°°
perverseness°
in Israel:°
Yahweh°
his Elohim°
[is] with°
him, and the shout°
of a king°
[is] among them. |
|
23:22
It was God who brought him out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn. |
|
23:22
El°
brought them out°°
of Egypt;°°
he hath as it were the strength°
of an unicorn.° |
|
23:23
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. |
|
23:23
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 El°
wrought!°° |
|
23:24
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. |
|
23:24
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.° |
|
23:25 ¶
And Bela{gr.Balac} said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all. |
|
23:25 ¶
And Balak°
said°°
unto°
Balaam,°
Neither°°
curse°°
them at all,°°
nor°°
bless°°
them at all.°° |
|
23:26
And Balaam answered and said to Bela{gr.Balac}, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do? |
|
23:26
But Balaam°
answered°°
and said°°
unto°
Balak,°
Told°°°
not°
I thee, saying,°°
All°
that°
Yahweh°
speaketh,°°
that I must do?°° |
|
23:27 ¶
And Bela{gr.Balac} said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence. |
|
23:27 ¶
And Balak°
said°°
unto°
Balaam,°
Come,°°°
I pray thee,°
I will bring°°
thee unto°
another°
place;°
peradventure°
it will please°°°
Elohim°
that thou mayest curse°°
me them from thence.°° |
|
23:28
And Bela{gr.Balac} took Balaam to the top of Peor{gr.Phogor}, which extends to the wilderness. |
|
23:28
And Balak°
brought°°°
Balaam°
unto the top°
of Peor,°
that looketh°°
toward°°
Jeshimon.° |
|
23:29
And Balaam said to Bela{gr.Balac}, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams. |
|
23:29
And Balaam°
said°°
unto°
Balak,°
Build°°
me here°
seven°
altars,°
and prepare°°
me here°
seven°
bullocks°
and seven°
rams.° |
|
23:30
And Bela{gr.Balac} did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar. |
|
23:30
And Balak°
did°°
as°
Balaam°
had said,°°
and offered°°
a bullock°
and a ram°
on [every] altar.° |
