And God came to Balaam [at] night, and he said to him, "If the men have come to call you, get up [and] go with them; but only the word that I will speak to you, you will do."

"In a dream, a vision of [the] night, when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on [their] bed,

And [while] he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent [a message] to him, saying, "{Have nothing to do with that righteous man}, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.")

Thou shalt not curse

And now please, {you also stay here} the night, and {let me find out} again what Yahweh will say with me."

And Balaam said to Balak, "Station yourself at your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell to you." So he went [to] a barren height.

O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and [what happened from] Shittim to Gilgal, so that you might know the righteous acts of Yahweh."

For they

Behold, I have received [a command] to bless; when he has blessed, I cannot cause it to return.

And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great. And you will be a blessing.

And he said, "I swear by myself, declares Yahweh, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only child,

But Yahweh your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

Blessed [are] you, O Israel. Who is like you, a people who [is] saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and who [is] the sword of your triumph, and your enemies, they shall fawn before you, and you shall tread on their backs."

Blessed [are] the people who have [it] thus. Blessed [are] the people whose God [is] Yahweh.

Blessed [is the one] whose help [is] the God of Jacob, whose hope [is] on Yahweh [as] his God,

just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

For the gifts and the calling of God [are] irrevocable.

Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
