1 H1109 And when Balaam H7200 [H8799] saw H5869 H2895 [H8804] that it pleased H3068 the LORD H1288 [H8763] to bless H3478 Israel H1980 [H8804] , he went H6471 not, as at other times H7125 [H8800] , to seek H5173 for enchantments H7896 [H8799] , but he set H6440 his face H4057 toward the wilderness.

2 H1109 And Balaam H5375 [H8799] lifted up H5869 his eyes H7200 [H8799] , and he saw H3478 Israel H7931 [H8802] abiding H7626 in his tents according to their tribes H7307 ; and the spirit H430 of God came upon him.

3 H5375 [H8799] And he took up H4912 his parable H559 [H8799] , and said H1109 , Balaam H1121 the son H1160 of Beor H5002 [H8803] hath said H1397 , and the man H5869 whose eyes H8365 [H8803] are open H5002 [H8803] hath said:

4 H5002 [H8803] He hath said H8085 [H8802] , who heard H561 the words H410 of God H2372 [H8799] , who saw H4236 the vision H7706 of the Almighty H5307 [H8802] , falling H5869 into a trance, but having his eyes H1540 [H8803] open:

5 H2895 [H8804] How goodly H168 are thy tents H3290 , O Jacob H4908 , and thy tabernacles H3478 , O Israel!

6 H5158 As the valleys H5186 [H8738] are they spread forth H1593 , as gardens H5104 by the river's side H174 , as the trees of lign aloes H3068 which the LORD H5193 [H8804] hath planted H730 , and as cedar trees H4325 beside the waters.

7 H5140 0 He shall pour H4325 the water H5140 [H8799] out H1805 of his buckets H2233 , and his seed H7227 shall be in many H4325 waters H4428 , and his king H7311 [H8799] shall be higher H90 than Agag H4438 , and his kingdom H5375 [H8691] shall be exalted.

8 H410 God H3318 [H8688] brought him forth H4714 from Egypt H8443 ; he hath as it were the strength H7214 of an unicorn H398 [H8799] : he shall eat up H1471 the nations H6862 his enemies H1633 [H8762] , and shall break H6106 their bones H4272 [H8799] , and pierce H2671 them through with his arrows.

9 H3766 [H8804] He crouched H7901 [H8804] , he lay down H738 as a lion H3833 , and as a great lion H6965 [H8686] : who shall rouse him H1288 [H8803] ? Blessed H1288 [H8764] is he that blesseth H779 [H8803] thee, and cursed H779 [H8802] is he that curseth thee.

10 H1111 And Balak's H639 anger H2734 [H8799] was kindled H1109 against Balaam H5606 0 , and he smote H3709 his hands H5606 [H8799] together H1111 : and Balak H559 [H8799] said H1109 to Balaam H7121 [H8804] , I called H6895 [H8800] thee to curse H341 [H8802] my enemies H1288 [H8763] , and, behold, thou hast altogether H1288 [H8765] blessed H7969 them these three H6471 times.

11 H1272 [H8798] Therefore now flee H4725 thou to thy place H559 [H8804] : I thought H3513 0 to promote H3513 [H8763] thee to great H3513 [H8762] honour H3068 ; but, lo, the LORD H4513 [H8804] hath kept thee back H3519 from honour.

12 H1109 And Balaam H559 [H8799] said H1111 to Balak H1696 [H8765] , Did I not speak H4397 also to thy messengers H7971 [H8804] whom thou sentest H559 [H8800] to me, saying,

13 H1111 If Balak H5414 [H8799] would give H1004 me his house H4393 full H3701 of silver H2091 and gold H3201 [H8799] , I could not H5674 [H8800] go beyond H6310 the commandment H3068 of the LORD H6213 [H8800] , to do H2896 either good H7451 or bad H3820 of my own mind H3068 ; but what the LORD H1696 [H8762] saith H1696 [H8762] , that will I speak?

14 H1980 [H8802] And now, behold, I go H5971 to my people H3212 [H8798] : come H3289 [H8799] therefore, I will advise H5971 thee what this people H6213 [H8799] shall do H5971 to thy people H319 in the latter H3117 days.

15 H5375 [H8799] And he took up H4912 his parable H559 [H8799] , and said H1109 , Balaam H1121 the son H1160 of Beor H5002 [H8803] hath said H1397 , and the man H5869 whose eyes H8365 [H8803] are open H5002 [H8803] hath said:

16 H5002 [H8803] He hath said H8085 [H8802] , who heard H561 the words H410 of God H3045 [H8802] , and knew H1847 the knowledge H5945 of the most High H2372 [H8799] , who saw H4236 the vision H7706 of the Almighty H5307 [H8802] , falling H5869 into a trance, but having his eyes H1540 [H8803] open:

17 H7200 [H8799] I shall see H7789 [H8799] him, but not now: I shall behold H7138 him, but not near H1869 [H8804] : there shall come H3556 a Star H3290 out of Jacob H7626 , and a Sceptre H6965 [H8804] shall rise H3478 out of Israel H4272 [H8804] , and shall smite H6285 the corners H4124 of Moab H6979 [H8773] , and destroy H1121 all the children H8352 H8351 [H8676] of Sheth.

18 H123 And Edom H3424 shall be a possession H8165 , Seir H3424 also shall be a possession H341 [H8802] for his enemies H3478 ; and Israel H6213 [H8802] shall do H2428 valiantly.

19 H3290 Out of Jacob H7287 [H8799] shall come he that shall have dominion H6 [H8689] , and shall destroy H8300 him that remaineth H5892 of the city.

20 H7200 [H8799] And when he looked H6002 on Amalek H5375 [H8799] , he took up H4912 his parable H559 [H8799] , and said H6002 , Amalek H7225 was the first H1471 of the nations H319 ; but his latter H8 end shall be that he shall perish H5703 for ever.

21 H7200 [H8799] And he looked H7017 on the Kenites H5375 [H8799] , and took up H4912 his parable H559 [H8799] , and said H386 , Strong H4186 is thy dwellingplace H7760 [H8798] , and thou puttest H7064 thy nest H5553 in a rock.

22 H7014 Nevertheless the Kenite H518 shall H1197 [H8763] be wasted H804 , until Asshur H7617 [H8799] shall carry thee away captive.

23 H5375 [H8799] And he took up H4912 his parable H559 [H8799] , and said H188 , Alas H2421 [H8799] , who shall live H410 when God H7760 [H8800] doeth this!

24 H6716 And ships H3027 shall come from the coast H3794 of Chittim H6031 [H8765] , and shall afflict H804 Asshur H6031 [H8765] , and shall afflict H5677 Eber H8 , and he also shall perish H5703 for ever.

25 H1109 And Balaam H6965 [H8799] arose H3212 [H8799] , and went H7725 [H8799] and returned H4725 to his place H1111 : and Balak H1980 [H8804] also went H1870 his way.
