Numbers 24

KJV

1  And when Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it pleased^{2895 5869} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to bless^{1288 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ he went¹⁹⁸⁰ not,³⁸⁰⁸ as at other times,^{6471 6471} to seek⁷¹²⁵ for enchantments,⁵¹⁷³ but he set⁷⁸⁹⁶ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward⁴¹³ the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

2  And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ lifted up^{5375 853} his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and he saw^{7200 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ abiding⁷⁹³¹ in his tents according to their tribes;⁷⁶²⁶ and the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ him.

3  And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ hath said,⁵⁰⁰² and the man¹³⁹⁷ whose eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are open⁸³⁶⁵ hath said:⁵⁰⁰²

4  He hath said,⁵⁰⁰² which heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words⁵⁶¹ of God,⁴¹⁰ which⁸³⁴ saw²³⁷² the vision⁴²³⁶ of the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ falling⁵³⁰⁷ into a trance, but having his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ open:¹⁵⁴⁰

5  How⁴¹⁰⁰ goodly²⁸⁹⁵ are thy tents,¹⁶⁸ O Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and thy tabernacles,⁴⁹⁰⁸ O Israel!³⁴⁷⁸

6  As the valleys⁵¹⁵⁸ are they spread forth,⁵¹⁸⁶ as gardens¹⁵⁹³ by⁵⁹²¹ the river's⁵¹⁰⁴ side, as the trees of lign aloes¹⁷⁴ which the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath planted,⁵¹⁹³ and as cedar trees⁷³⁰ beside⁵⁹²¹ the waters.⁴³²⁵

7  He shall pour⁵¹⁴⁰ the water⁴³²⁵ out of his buckets,^{4480 1805} and his seed²²³³ shall be in many⁷²²⁷ waters,⁴³²⁵ and his king⁴⁴²⁸ shall be higher⁷³¹¹ than Agag,^{4480 90} and his kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ shall be exalted.⁵³⁷⁵

8  God⁴¹⁰ brought him forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt;^{4480 4714} he hath as it were the strength⁸⁴⁴³ of a unicorn:⁷²¹⁴ he shall eat up³⁹⁸ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ his enemies,⁶⁸⁶² and shall break¹⁶³³ their bones,⁶¹⁰⁶ and pierce them through⁴²⁷² with his arrows.²⁶⁷¹

9  He couched,³⁷⁶⁶ he lay down⁷⁹⁰¹ as a lion,⁷³⁸ and as a great lion:³⁸³³ who⁴³¹⁰ shall stir him up?⁶⁹⁶⁵ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ is he that blesseth¹²⁸⁸ thee, and cursed⁷⁷⁹ is he that curseth⁷⁷⁹ thee.

10  And Balak's¹¹¹¹ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against⁴¹³ Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ and he smote his hands together:^{5606 853 3709} and Balak¹¹¹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Balaam,¹¹⁰⁹ I called⁷¹²¹ thee to curse⁶⁸⁹⁵ mine enemies,³⁴¹ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou hast altogether blessed^{1288 1288} them these²⁰⁸⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times.⁶⁴⁷¹

11  Therefore now⁶²⁵⁸ flee¹²⁷² thou to⁴¹³ thy place:⁴⁷²⁵ I thought⁵⁵⁹ to promote thee unto great honor;^{3513 3513} but, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath kept thee back⁴⁵¹³ from honor.^{4480 3519}

12  And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Balak,¹¹¹¹ Spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ I not³⁸⁰⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ to⁴¹³ thy messengers⁴³⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou sentest⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

13  If⁵¹⁸ Balak¹¹¹¹ would give⁵⁴¹⁴ me his house¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹³ of silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ I cannot^{3808 3201} go beyond^{5674 853} the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ either good²⁸⁹⁶ or¹⁷⁶ bad⁷⁴⁵¹ of mine own mind;^{4480 3820} but what⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saith,¹⁶⁹⁶ that will I speak?¹⁶⁹⁶

14  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto my people:⁵⁹⁷¹ come¹⁹⁸⁰ therefore, and I will advertise³²⁸⁹ thee what⁸³⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall do⁶²¹³ to thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the latter³¹⁹ days.³¹¹⁷

15  And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Beor¹¹⁶⁰ hath said,⁵⁰⁰² and the man¹³⁹⁷ whose eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are open⁸³⁶⁵ hath said:⁵⁰⁰²

16  He hath said,⁵⁰⁰² which heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words⁵⁶¹ of God,⁴¹⁰ and knew³⁰⁴⁵ the knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ of the most High,⁵⁹⁴⁵ which saw²³⁷² the vision⁴²³⁶ of the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ falling⁵³⁰⁷ into a trance, but having his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ open:¹⁵⁴⁰

17  I shall see⁷²⁰⁰ him, but not³⁸⁰⁸ now:⁶²⁵⁸ I shall behold⁷⁷⁸⁹ him, but not³⁸⁰⁸ nigh:⁷¹³⁸ there shall come¹⁸⁶⁹ a Star³⁵⁵⁶ out of Jacob,^{4480 3290} and a Scepter⁷⁶²⁶ shall rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ out of Israel,^{4480 3478} and shall smite⁴²⁷² the corners⁶²⁸⁵ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and destroy⁴²⁷² all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Sheth.⁸³⁵²

18  And Edom¹²³ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a possession,³⁴²⁴ Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ also shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a possession³⁴²⁴ for his enemies;³⁴¹ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall do⁶²¹³ valiantly.²⁴²⁸

19  Out of Jacob^{4480 3290} shall come he that shall have dominion,⁷²⁸⁷ and shall destroy⁶ him that remaineth⁸³⁰⁰ of the city.^{4480 5892}

20  And when he looked on^{7200 853} Amalek,⁶⁰⁰² he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Amalek⁶⁰⁰² was the first⁷²²⁵ of the nations;¹⁴⁷¹ but his latter end³¹⁹ shall be that he perish⁸ forever.⁵⁷⁰³

21  And he looked on^{7200 853} the Kenites,⁷⁰¹⁷ and took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Strong³⁸⁶ is thy dwelling place,⁴¹⁸⁶ and thou puttest⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy nest⁷⁰⁶⁴ in a rock.⁵⁵⁵³

22  Nevertheless^{3588 518} the Kenite⁷⁰¹⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ wasted,¹¹⁹⁷ until^{5704 4100} Asshur⁸⁰⁴ shall carry thee away captive.⁷⁶¹⁷

23  And he took up⁵³⁷⁵ his parable,⁴⁹¹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ shall live²⁴²¹ when God⁴¹⁰ doeth^{4480 7760} this!

24  And ships⁶⁷¹⁶ shall come from the coast^{4480 3027} of Chittim,³⁷⁹⁴ and shall afflict⁶⁰³¹ Asshur,⁸⁰⁴ and shall afflict⁶⁰³¹ Eber,⁵⁶⁷⁷ and he¹⁹³¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ shall perish⁸ forever.⁵⁷⁰³

25  And Balaam¹¹⁰⁹ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to his place:⁴⁷²⁵ and Balak¹¹¹¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ his way.¹⁸⁷⁰

1 καὶ ἰδὼν Βαλααμ ὅτι καλόν ἐστιν ἔναντι κυρίου εὐλογεῖν τὸν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς εἰς συνάντησιν τοῖς οἰωνοῖς καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον

2 καὶ ἐξάρας Βαλααμ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καθορᾷ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐστρατοπεδευκότα κατὰ φυλάς καὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ

3 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν φησὶν Βαλααμ υἱὸς Βεωρ φησὶν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀληθινῶς ὁρῶν

4 φησὶν ἀκούων λόγια θεοῦ ὅστις ὅρασιν θεοῦ εἶδεν ἐν ὕπνῳ ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ

5 ὡς καλοί σου οἱ οἶκοι Ιακωβ αἱ σκηναί σου Ισραηλ

6 ὡσεὶ νάπαι σκιάζουσαι καὶ ὡσεὶ παράδεισοι ἐπὶ ποταμῶν καὶ ὡσεὶ σκηναί ἃς ἔπηξεν κύριος ὡσεὶ κέδροι παρ᾽ ὕδατα

7 ἐξελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ κυριεύσει ἐθνῶν πολλῶν καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ἢ Γωγ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐξηθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ

8 θεὸς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ὡς δόξα μονοκέρωτος αὐτῷ ἔδεται ἔθνη ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ πάχη αὐτῶν ἐκμυελιεῖ καὶ ταῖς βολίσιν αὐτοῦ κατατοξεύσει ἐχθρόν

9 κατακλιθεὶς ἀνεπαύσατο ὡς λέων καὶ ὡς σκύμνος τίς ἀναστήσει αὐτόν οἱ εὐλογοῦντές σε εὐλόγηνται καὶ οἱ καταρώμενοί σε κεκατήρανται

10 καὶ ἐθυμώθη Βαλακ ἐπὶ Βαλααμ καὶ συνεκρότησεν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Βαλακ πρὸς Βαλααμ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου κέκληκά σε καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλογῶν εὐλόγησας τρίτον τοῦτο

11 νῦν οὖν φεῦγε εἰς τὸν τόπον σου εἶπα τιμήσω σε καὶ νῦν ἐστέρησέν σε κύριος τῆς δόξης

12 καὶ εἶπεν Βαλααμ πρὸς Βαλακ οὐχὶ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις σου οὓς ἀπέστειλας πρός με ἐλάλησα λέγων

13 ἐάν μοι δῷ Βαλακ πλήρη τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου οὐ δυνήσομαι παραβῆναι τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ποιῆσαι αὐτὸ πονηρὸν ἢ καλὸν παρ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ θεός ταῦτα ἐρῶ

14 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἀποτρέχω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου δεῦρο συμβουλεύσω σοι τί ποιήσει ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τὸν λαόν σου ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν

15 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν φησὶν Βαλααμ υἱὸς Βεωρ φησὶν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀληθινῶς ὁρῶν

16 ἀκούων λόγια θεοῦ ἐπιστάμενος ἐπιστήμην παρὰ ὑψίστου καὶ ὅρασιν θεοῦ ἰδὼν ἐν ὕπνῳ ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ

17 δείξω αὐτῷ καὶ οὐχὶ νῦν μακαρίζω καὶ οὐκ ἐγγίζει ἀνατελεῖ ἄστρον ἐξ Ιακωβ καὶ ἀναστήσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ Ισραηλ καὶ θραύσει τοὺς ἀρχηγοὺς Μωαβ καὶ προνομεύσει πάντας υἱοὺς Σηθ

18 καὶ ἔσται Εδωμ κληρονομία καὶ ἔσται κληρονομία Ησαυ ὁ ἐχθρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Ισραηλ ἐποίησεν ἐν ἰσχύι

19 καὶ ἐξεγερθήσεται ἐξ Ιακωβ καὶ ἀπολεῖ σῳζόμενον ἐκ πόλεως

20 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν Αμαληκ καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ἀρχὴ ἐθνῶν Αμαληκ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται

21 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν Καιναῖον καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ἰσχυρὰ ἡ κατοικία σου καὶ ἐὰν θῇς ἐν πέτρᾳ τὴν νοσσιάν σου

22 καὶ ἐὰν γένηται τῷ Βεωρ νεοσσιὰ πανουργίας Ἀσσύριοί σε αἰχμαλωτεύσουσιν

23 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν Ωγ καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ὦ ὦ τίς ζήσεται ὅταν θῇ ταῦτα ὁ θεός

24 καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ χειρὸς Κιτιαίων καὶ κακώσουσιν Ασσουρ καὶ κακώσουσιν Εβραίους καὶ αὐτοὶ ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἀπολοῦνται

25 καὶ ἀναστὰς Βαλααμ ἀπῆλθεν ἀποστραφεὶς εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ καὶ Βαλακ ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς ἑαυτόν

1 Cumque vidisset Balaam quod placeret Domino ut benediceret Israëli, nequaquam abiit ut ante perrexerat, ut augurium quæreret: sed dirigens contra desertum vultum suum,

2 et elevans oculos, vidit Israël in tentoriis commorantem per tribus suas: et irruente in se spiritu Dei,

3 assumpta parabola, ait: [Dixit Balaam filius Beor:
dixit homo, cujus obturatus est oculus:

4 dixit auditor sermonum Dei,
qui visionem Omnipotentis intuitus est,
qui cadit, et sic aperiuntur oculi ejus:

5 Quam pulchra tabernacula tua, Jacob,
et tentoria tua, Israël!

6 ut valles nemorosæ,
ut horti juxta fluvios irrigui,
ut tabernacula quæ fixit Dominus,
quasi cedri prope aquas.

7 Fluet aqua de situla ejus,
et semen illius erit in aquas multas.
Tolletur propter Agag, rex ejus,
et auferetur regnum illius.

8 Deus eduxit illum de Ægypto,
cujus fortitudo similis est rhinocerotis.
Devorabunt gentes hostes illius,
ossaque eorum confringent, et perforabunt sagittis.

9 Accubans dormivit ut leo,
et quasi leæna, quam suscitare nullus audebit.
Qui benedixerit tibi, erit et ipse benedictus:
qui maledixerit, in maledictione reputabitur.]

10 Iratusque Balac contra Balaam, complosis manibus ait: Ad maledicendum inimicis meis vocavi te, quibus e contrario tertio benedixisti:

11 revertere ad locum tuum. Decreveram quidem magnifice honorare te, sed Dominus privavit te honore disposito.

12 Respondit Balaam ad Balac: Nonne nuntiis tuis, quos misisti ad me, dixi:

13 Si dederit mihi Balac plenam domum suam argenti et auri, non potero præterire sermonem Domini Dei mei, ut vel boni quid vel mali proferam ex corde meo: sed quidquid Dominus dixerit, hoc loquar?

14 verumtamen pergens ad populum meum, dabo consilium, quid populus tuus populo huic faciat extremo tempore.

15 Sumpta igitur parabola, rursum ait: [Dixit Balaam filius Beor:
dixit homo, cujus obturatus est oculus:

16 dixit auditor sermonum Dei,
qui novit doctrinam Altissimi,
et visiones Omnipotentis videt,
qui cadens apertos habet oculos:

17 Videbo eum, sed non modo:
intuebor illum, sed non prope.
Orietur stella ex Jacob,
et consurget virga de Israël:
et percutiet duces Moab,
vastabitque omnes filios Seth.

18 Et erit Idumæa possessio ejus:
hæreditas Seir cedet inimicis suis:
Israël vero fortiter aget.

19 De Jacob erit qui dominetur,
et perdat reliquias civitatis.
]

20 Cumque vidisset Amalec, assumens parabolam, ait: [Principium gentium Amalec,
cujus extrema perdentur.]

21 Vidit quoque Cinæum: et assumpta parabola, ait: [Robustum quidem est habitaculum tuum:
sed si in petra posueris nidum tuum,

22 et fueris electus de stirpe Cin,
quamdiu poteris permanere? Assur enim capiet te.]

23 Assumptaque parabola iterum locutus est: [Heu! quis victurus est,
quando ista faciet Deus?

24 Venient in trieribus de Italia:
superabunt Assyrios, vastabuntque Hebræos, et ad extremum etiam ipsi peribunt.]

25 Surrexitque Balaam, et reversus est in locum suum: Balac quoque via, qua venerat, rediit.
