Numbers 23:27-Numbers 24:14 - Balaam's Third Oracle
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Please, come. I will bring you into another place. Perhaps it will please God that you will curse them for me from there. 28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor that looks toward Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build seven altars here for me, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams here for me.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on the altar.
1 And Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel, and he did not go, as at other times, to seek for secret arts, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel pitched, according to their tribes. And the Spirit of God came upon him. 3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said; 4 he has said; he who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling down but having his eyes open; 5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, your tabernacles, O Israel! 6 They are spread forth like the valleys, like gardens by the river's side, like the trees of aloes which Jehovah has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters. 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters. And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8 God brought him forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of an ox. He shall eat up the nations, his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9 He crouched. He lay down as a lion, and as a great lion. Who shall stir him up? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam. And he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have kept on blessing these three times. 11 Therefore now flee to your place. I thought to lift you up to great honor, but lo, Jehovah has kept you back from honor.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying, 13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the mouth of Jehovah, to do good or bad of my own mind. What Jehovah said, that I will speak. 14 And now, behold, I go to my people. Come! I will make known to you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
