Numbers 23:3-12 And Bilam says to Balaq, Stand by your holocaust and I go: perhaps Yah Veh happens to meet me: and whatever word he has me see, I tell you. And he goes to the barrens

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And Bilam says to Balaq, Stand by your holocaust and I go: perhaps Yah Veh happens to meet me: and whatever word he has me see, I tell you. And he goes to the barrens ⁴ and Elohim happens on Bilam, and he says to him, I arrange seven sacrifice altars and I holocaust a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar. ⁵ And Yah Veh puts a word in the mouth of Bilam, and says, Return to Balaq and word thus. ⁶ And he returns to him, and behold, he stations himself by his holocaust - he and all the governors of Moab: ⁷ and he lifts his proverb, and says, Balaq the sovereign of Moab leads me from Aram - from the mountains of the east, Go, curse Yaaqov for me! And go, enrage Yisra El! ⁸ How pierce I whom El curses not? Or how enrage I whom Yah Veh enrages not? ⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him and from the hills I observe him: behold, the people tabernacle alone and are not fabricated among the goyim. ¹⁰ Who numbers the dust of Yaaqov? And the number of the fourth of Yisra El? Let my soul die the death of the straight and let my finality be like his! ¹¹ And Balaq says to Bilam, What work you to me? I take you to curse my enemies; and behold, in blessing, you bless them. ¹² And he answers and says, Guard I not to word what Yah Veh puts in my mouth?
