And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

He saith, who heareth the words of God, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite them through with his arrows.

He saith, who heareth the words of God, And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

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

and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

Jehovah our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:

Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!

And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth unto us.

Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God giveth unto us.

Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:

Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.

Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,

Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; he hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
