The Prophecy from Peor

1

When Balaamh1109a sawh7200 that it  1pleasedh2895h5869 the LORDh3068 to blessh1288 Israelh3478, he did not goh1980 as at otherh6471 timesh6471 to  2seekh7122  aomensh5173 but he seth7896 his faceh6440 towardh413 the  bwildernessh4057b.

2

And Balaamh1109a liftedh5375 up his eyesh5869 and sawh7200 Israelh3478  1campingh7931 tribeh7626 by tribeh7626; and  athe Spirith7307 of Godh430 cameh1961 upon him.

3

He tookh5375 up his  1discourseh4912 and saidh559, " aThe oracleh5002 of Balaamh1109a the sonh1121 of Beorh1160, And the oracleh5002 of the manh1397 whose eyeh5869 is openedh8365b;

4

The oracleh5002 of him who  ahearsh8085 the  1wordsh561 of Godh410, Whoh834 seesh2372 the  bvisionh4236 of  2the Almightyh7706b, Fallingh5307 downh5307, yet having his eyesh5869 uncoveredh1540,

5

Howh4100 fairh2895 are your tentsh168, O Jacobh3290, Your dwellingsh4908, O Israelh3478!

6

"Like  1valleysh5158a that stretchh5186 out, Like gardensh1593 besideh5921 the riverh5104, Like  aaloesh174 plantedh5193 by the LORDh3068, Like  bcedarsh730 besideh5921 the watersh4325.

7

"Waterh4325 will flowh5140 from his bucketsh1805, And his seedh2233 will be by manyh7227a watersh4325, And his kingh4428 shall be higherh7311 thanh4480  aAgagh90,  bAnd his kingdomh4438 shall be exaltedh5375.

8

aGodh410 bringsh3318 him out of Egypth4714, He is for him like the hornsh8443 of the wildh7214 oxh7214.  bHe will devourh398 the nationsh1471 who are his adversariesh6862c, And will crushh1633b their bonesh6106 in pieces, And shatterh4272 them with his  carrowsh2671.

9

aHe  1couchesh3766, he liesh7901 downh7901 as a lionh738, And as a  2lionh3833b, whoh4310  3dares rouseh6965 him?  bBlessedh1288 is everyone who blessesh1288 you, And cursedh779 is everyone who cursesh779 you."

10

Then Balak'sh1111 angerh639 burnedh2734 againsth413 Balaamh1109a, and he struckh5606 his  1handsh3709 togetherh5606; and Balakh1111 saidh559 to Balaamh1109a, "I calledh7121 you to curseh6895 my enemiesh340, but beholdh2009, you have persistedh1288 in blessingh1288 them theseh2088 threeh7969 timesh6471!

11

"Therefore,  1fleeh1272 to your placeh4725 nowh6258. I saidh559 I would honorh3513 you greatlyh3513, but beholdh2009, the LORDh3068 has heldh4513 you backh4513 from honorh3519b."

12

Balaamh1109a saidh559 to Balakh1111, " aDid I not tellh1696 your messengersh4397 whomh834 you had senth7971 to me, sayingh559,

13

`Thoughh518 Balakh1111 were to giveh5414 me his househ1004 fullh4393 of silverh3701 and goldh2091, I couldh3201 not doh6213a anything contraryh5674a to the  1commandh6310 of the LORDh3068, either goodh2899b orh176 badh7451a,  aof my own  2accordh3820.  bWhath834 the LORDh3068 speaksh1696, that I will speakh1696'?

14

"And nowh6258, beholdh2009,  aI am goingh1980 to my peopleh5971a; comeh1980, and I will adviseh3289 you whath834 thish2088 peopleh5971a will doh6213a to your peopleh5971a in the  1daysh3117 to comeh319."

15

He tookh5375 up his discourseh4912 and saidh559, " aThe oracleh5002 of Balaamh1109a the sonh1121 of Beorh1160, And the oracleh5002 of the manh1397 whose eyeh5869 is openedh8365b,

16

The oracleh5002 of him who hearsh8085 the  1wordsh561 of Godh410, And knowsh3045 the knowledgeh1847 of the  2Mosth5945b Highh5945b, Who seesh2372 the visionh4236 of  3the Almightyh7706b, Fallingh5307 downh5307, yet having his eyesh5869 uncoveredh1540.

17

"I seeh7200 him, but not nowh6258; I beholdh7789 him, but not nearh7138; A starh3556 shall comeh1869 forth from Jacobh3290,  aA scepterh7626 shall riseh6965 from Israelh3478,  bAnd shall crushh4272 throughh4272 the  1foreheadh6285 of Moabh4124, And  2tearh7175a downh7175a allh3605 the sonsh1121 of  3Shethh8352.

18

aEdomh112b shall be a possessionh3423,  bSeirh8165, its enemiesh340, also will be a possessionh3423, While Israelh3478 performsh6213a valiantlyh2428.

19

"One from Jacobh3290 shall haveh7287a dominionh7287a, And will destroyh6 the remnanth8300 from the cityh5892b."

20

And he lookedh7200 at Amalekh6002 and tookh5375 up his discourseh4912 and saidh559, "Amalekh6002 was the firsth7225 of the nationsh1471,  aBut his endh319 shall be  1destructionh8."

21

And he lookedh7200 at the  aKeniteh7017, and tookh5375 up his discourseh4912 and saidh559, "Your dwellingh4186 placeh4186 is enduringh386, And your nesth7064 is seth7760 in the cliffh5553.

22

"Neverthelessh3588h518 Kainh7014a will be consumedh1197a; Howh4100 longh5704 will  aAsshurh804b  1keeph7617 you captiveh7628b?"

23

Then he tookh5375 up his discourseh4912 and saidh559, "Alash188, whoh4310 can liveh2421a except Godh410 has ordainedh7760 it?

24

"But shipsh6716a shall come from the coasth3027 of  aKittimh3794, And they shall afflicth6031a Asshurh804b and will afflicth6031a  bEberh5677;  cSo they alsoh1571 will come to destructionh8."

25

Then Balaamh1109a aroseh6965 and departedh1980 and returnedh7725 to  ahis placeh4725, and Balakh1111 alsoh1571 wenth1980 his wayh1870.
