24WHEN BALAAM saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as he had done each time before [superstitiously] to meet with omens {and} signs in the natural world, but he set his face toward the wilderness {or} desert.H1109H7200H5869H2895H3068H1288H3478H1980H6471H7125H5173H7896H6440H4057 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and he saw Israel abiding in their tents according to their tribes. And the Spirit of God came upon himH1109H5375H5869H7200H3478H7931H7626H7307H430 3And he took up his [figurative] discourse and said: Balaam son of Beor, the man whose eye is opened [at last, to see clearly the purposes and will of God],H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H5002 4He [Balaam] who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, but having his eyes open {and} uncovered, he says:H5002H8085H561H410H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H1540 5How attractive {and} considerable are your tents, O Jacob, {and} your tabernacles, O Israel!H2895H168H3290H4908H3478 6As valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as [rare spice] of lignaloes which the Lord has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.H5158H5186H1593H5104H174H3068H5193H730H4325 7[Israel] shall pour water out of his own buckets [have his own sources of rich blessing and plenty], and his offspring shall dwell by many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.H5140H4325H5140H1805H2233H7227H4325H4428H7311H90H4438H5375 8God brought [Israel] forth out of Egypt; [Israel] has strength like the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations, his enemies, crushing their bones and piercing them through with his arrows.H410H3318H4714H8443H7214H398H1471H6862H1633H6106H4272H2671 9He couched, he lay down as a lion; and as a lioness, who shall rouse him? Blessed [of God] is he who blesses you [who prays for and contributes to your welfare] and cursed [of God] is he who curses you [who in word, thought, or deed would bring harm upon you].H3766H7901H738H3833H6965H1288H1288H779H779 10Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have done nothing but bless them these three times.H1111H639H2734H1109H5606H3709H5606H1111H559H1109H7121H6895H341H1288H1288H7969H6471 11Therefore now go back where you belong {and} do it in a hurry! I had intended to promote you to great honor, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor.H1272H4725H559H3513H3513H3513H3068H4513H3519 12Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to your messengers whom you sent to me,H1109H559H1111H1696H4397H7971H559 13If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the command of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will, but what the Lord says, that will I speak?H1111H5414H1004H4393H3701H2091H3201H5674H6310H3068H6213H2896H7451H3820H3068H1696H1696 14And now, behold, I am going to my people; come, I will tell you what this people [Israel] will do to your people [Moab] in the latter days.H1980H5971H3212H3289H5971H6213H5971H319H3117 15And he took up his [figurative] discourse, and said: Balaam son of Beor speaks, the man whose eye is opened speaks,H5375H4912H559H1109H1121H1160H5002H1397H5869H8365H5002 16He speaks, who heard the words of God and knew the knowledge of the Most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling down, but having his eyes open {and} uncovered:H5002H8085H561H410H3045H1847H5945H2372H4236H7706H5307H5869H1540 17I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but He is not near. A star (Star) shall come forth out of Jacob, and a scepter (Scepter) shall rise out of Israel and shall crush all the corners of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth [Moab's sons of tumult].H7200H7789H7138H1869H3556H3290H7626H6965H3478H4272H6285H4124H6979H1121H8352H8351 18And Edom shall be [taken as] a possession, [Mount] Seir also shall be dispossessed, who were Israel's enemies, while Israel does valiantly.H123H3424H8165H3424H341H3478H6213H2428 19Out of Jacob shall one (One) come having dominion and shall destroy the remnant from the city.H3290H7287H6H8300H5892 20[Balaam] looked at Amalek and took up his [prophetic] utterance, and said: Amalek is the foremost of the [neighboring] nations, but in his latter end he shall come to destruction.H7200H6002H5375H4912H559H6002H7225H1471H319H8H5703 21And he looked at the Kenites and took up his [prophetic] utterance, and said: Strong is your dwelling place, and you set your nest in the rock.H7200H7017H5375H4912H559H386H4186H7760H7064H5553 22Nevertheless the Kenites shall be wasted. How long shall Asshur (Assyria) take you away captive?H7014H518H1197H804H7617 23And he took up his [prophetic] speech, and said: Alas, who shall live when God does this {and} establishes [Assyria]?H5375H4912H559H188H2421H410H7760 24But ships shall come from Kittim [Cyprus and the greater part of the Mediterranean's east coast] and shall afflict Assyria and Eber [the Hebrews, certain Arabs, and descendants of Nahor], and he [the victor] also shall come to destruction.H6716H3027H3794H6031H804H6031H5677H8H5703 25And Balaam rose up, returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.H1109H6965H3212H7725H4725H1111H1980H1870
