Numbers 24
1When
2Balaam
3He 1 “ Balaam the son of Beor says, 2 the man whose eyes are open says; 1
4he says 2 who sees the vision of the Almighty, 2 falling down, and having his eyes open: 1
5How 2 and your dwellings, Israel! 1
6As 2 as gardens by the riverside, 2 as aloes which Yahweh has planted, 2 as cedar trees beside the waters. 1
7Water 2 His seed shall be in many waters. 1 His king shall be higher than Agag. 2 His kingdom shall be exalted. 1
8God brings 2 He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. 1 He shall consume the nations his adversaries, 2 shall break their bones in pieces, 2 and pierce them with his arrows. 1
9He 2 as a lioness; 2 who shall rouse him up? 1 Everyone who blesses you is blessed. 2 Everyone who curses you is cursed.”
10Balak
11Therefore
12Balaam
13‘If Balak
14Now
15He 1 “ Balaam the son of Beor says, 2 the man whose eyes are open says; 2
16he 2 knows the knowledge of the Most High, 2 and who sees the vision of the Almighty, 2 falling down, and having his eyes open: 1
17I 2 I see him, but not near. 1 A star will come out of Jacob. 2 A scepter will rise out of Israel, 1 and shall strike through the corners of Moab, 2 and crush all the sons of Sheth. 1
18Edom shall 2 Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, 2 while Israel does valiantly. 1
19Out of 2 and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
20He 1 “ Amalek was the first of the nations, 2 but his latter end shall come to destruction.”
21He 1 “ Your dwelling place is strong. 2 Your nest is set in the rock. 1
22Nevertheless 2 until Asshur carries you away captive.”
23He 1 “Alas, who shall live when God does this? 2
24But 1 They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. 2 He also shall come to destruction.”
