Numbers 24:11 - Prayer Tents

24Now Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, so he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.H1109H7200H5869H2895H3068H1288H3478H1980H6471H7125H5173H7896H6440H4057 2Balaam looked up and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. Then the spirit of God came upon him,H1109H5375H5869H7200H3478H7931H7626H7307H430 3and he uttered his oracle, saying: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is clear,H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H5002 4the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, but with eyes uncovered:H5002H8085H561H410H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H1540 5how fair are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!H2895H168H3290H4908H3478 6Like palm-groves that stretch far away, like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the LORD has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters.H5158H5186H1593H5104H174H3068H5193H730H4325 7Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall have abundant water, his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.H5140H4325H5140H1805H2233H7227H4325H4428H7311H90H4438H5375 8God who brings him out of Egypt, is like the horns of a wild ox for him; he shall devour the nations that are his foes and break their bones. He shall strike with his arrows.H410H3318H4714H8443H7214H398H1471H6862H1633H6106H4272H2671 9He crouched, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, and cursed is everyone who curses you."H3766H7901H738H3833H6965H1288H1288H779H779 10Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, "I summoned you to curse my enemies, but instead you have blessed them these three times.H1111H639H2734H1109H5606H3709H5606H1111H559H1109H7121H6895H341H1288H1288H7969H6471 11Now be off with you! Go home! I said, 'I will reward you richly,' but the LORD has denied you any reward."H1272H4725H559H3513H3513H3513H3068H4513H3519 12And Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me,H1109H559H1111H1696H4397H7971H559 13'If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own will; what the LORD says, that is what I will say'?H1111H5414H1004H4393H3701H2091H3201H5674H6310H3068H6213H2896H7451H3820H3068H1696H1696 14So now, I am going to my people; let me advise you what this people will do to your people in days to come."H1980H5971H3212H3289H5971H6213H5971H319H3117 15So he uttered his oracle, saying: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is clear,H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H5002 16the oracle of one who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, but with his eyes uncovered:H5002H8085H561H410H3045H1847H5945H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H1540 17I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near—a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the borderlands of Moab, and the territory of all the Shethites.H7200H7789H7138H1869H3556H3290H7626H6965H3478H4272H6285H4124H6979H1121H8352H8351 18Edom will become a possession, Seir a possession of its enemies, while Israel does valiantly.H123H3424H8165H3424H341H3478H6213H2428 19One out of Jacob shall rule, and destroy the survivors of Ir."H3290H7287H6H8300H5892 20Then he looked on Amalek, and uttered his oracle, saying: "First among the nations was Amalek, but its end is to perish forever."H7200H6002H5375H4912H559H6002H7225H1471H319H8H5703 21Then he looked on the Kenite, and uttered his oracle, saying: "Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock;H7200H7017H5375H4912H559H386H4186H7760H7064H5553 22yet Kain is destined for burning. How long shall Asshur take you away captive?"H7014H518H1197H804H7617 23Again he uttered his oracle, saying: "Alas, who shall live when God does this?H5375H4912H559H188H2421H410H7760 24But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he also shall perish forever."H6716H3027H3794H6031H804H6031H5677H8H5703 25Then Balaam got up and went back to his place, and Balak also went his way.H1109H6965H3212H7725H4725H1111H1980H1870
