Numbers 23:27-Numbers 24:14 - Balaam's Third Oracle

²⁷ And Balak will say to Balaam, Come now, I will take thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the eyes of God, and curse him to me from thence. ²⁸ And Balak will take Balaam to the head of Peor, projecting upon the face of the desert

²⁹ And Balsam will say to Balak, Build to me here seven altars, and prepare to me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

³⁰ And Balak will do as Balaam said, and he will bring up a bullock, and a ram, upon the altar.

¹ And Balaam will see that it was good in the eyes of Jehovah to praise Israel, and he went not now as before to meet enchantments, and he will set his face to the desert ² And Balsam will lift up his eyes and see Israel dwelling according to his tribes; and the spirit of God will be upon him. ³ And he will take up his parable and say, Balaam, the son of Beor, and the man of unclosed eye, said; ⁴ He said, hearing the sayings of God, who will see the vision of the Almighty, falling, and the eyes being uncovered: ⁵ How good thy tents, Jacob, and thy dwellings, Israel! ⁶ As valleys extended, as a garden by the river, as tents Jehovah pitched, as cedars by the waters. ⁷ He will shake out the water from his bucket, and his seed in many waters, and his king shall be lifted up above Agag, and his kingdom shall be raised up. ⁸ God brought him forth out of Egypt; as the swiftness of the buffalo to him: he shall cut up the nations his enemies; he shall cut off their strong defences, and he shall smite through his arrows. ⁹ He bowed; he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness: who shall raise him up? Praised he praising thee, and cursed he cursing thee.

¹⁰ And Balak's anger will kindle against Balaam, and he will strike his hands: and Balak will say to Balaam, To curse mine enemies I called thee, and behold, blessing, thou didst bless this three beats. ¹¹ And now flee for thyself to thy place: I said, Honoring, I will honor thee, and behold, Jehovah withheld thee from honor.

¹² And Balaam will say to Balak, Also to thy messengers which thou sentest to me, spake I not, saying, ¹³ If Balak will give to me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to pass by the mouth of Jehovah, to do good or evil from my heart; what Jehovah shall speak I will speak it ¹⁴ And now, behold me going to my people: come, I will advise thee what this people will do to thy people in the last of the days.
