said to
Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

donkey, “You have made a
fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!”

ass, upon which thou hast
ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever

said,
Nay.

donkey said to
Balaam, “Am I not the
donkey you have
ridden all your life until
today? Have I ever treated you this way before?” “No,” he replied.

smitten thine
ass these three times? behold, I went out to

said unto

urgent summons? Why did you not come to me? Am I really not able to richly reward you?”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Balaam replied, “but can I say just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”

peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and
whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So

Balaam: and he

curse me Jacob, and come,

And
Balaam lifted up an
oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from
Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he
said, ‘put a
curse on Jacob for me; come and
denounce Israel!’
And Balak
said unto
Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Then Balak
said to
Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to
curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”
And he answered and
said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
But
Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
And Balak
said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and
curse me them from thence.
Then Balak
said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there,
curse them for me.”
And he
said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD
yonder.
Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
And the LORD met
Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
And the LORD met with
Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.
And he took up his parable, and
said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
Then
Balaam lifted up an
oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and
listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: hath he
said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not
fulfill?
Surely there is no
enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be
said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
For there is no
spell against Jacob and no
divination against Israel. It will now be
said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’
Now Balak
said to
Balaam, “Then neither
curse them at all nor
bless them at all!”
But
Balaam answered and
said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
But
Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
And Balak
said unto
Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place;
peradventure it will please God that thou mayest
curse me them from thence.
“Please come,”
said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you
curse them for me from there.”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Then
Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
And Balak did as
Balaam had
said, and offered a
bullock and a ram on every altar.
So Balak did as
Balaam had
instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
And he took up his parable, and
said,
Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath
said:
and he lifted up an
oracle, saying: “This is the prophecy of
Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open,
He hath
said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a
trance, but having his eyes open:
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the
Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
And Balak’s anger was
kindled against
Balaam, and he
smote his hands together: and Balak
said unto
Balaam, I called thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
Then Balak’s anger burned against
Balaam, and he struck his hands together and
said to
Balaam, “I summoned you to
curse my enemies, but behold, you have
persisted in blessing them these three times.
Therefore now
flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
Therefore,
flee at once to your home! I
said I would richly reward you, but instead the LORD has denied your reward.”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not already tell the messengers you sent me
And he took up his parable, and
said,
Balaam the son of Beor hath
said, and the man whose eyes are open hath
said:
Then
Balaam lifted up an
oracle, saying, “This is the prophecy of
Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open,
He hath
said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a
trance, but having his eyes open:
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the
Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
Then
Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an
oracle, saying: “Amalek was first among the nations, but his end is destruction.”
And he looked on the
Kenites, and took up his parable, and

cliff.
And he took up his parable, and
said,
Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
The LORD our God
said to us at
Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
And you answered me and
said, “What you
propose to do is good.”
And I
said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the
Amorites, which the LORD our God
doth give unto us.
I
said: “You have reached the hill country of the
Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
Then all of you approached me and
said, “Let us send men

angry with me on your account, and He
said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
And the little ones you
said would become
captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
Then ye answered and
said unto me, We have
sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had
girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
“We have
sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
