And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest from thence curse them for me.

And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.

He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:

God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.

He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the Most High, [who] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:

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

And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation.

The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

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

(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

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

And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to 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 to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought [it] down to us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.

Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:

The LORD your God who goeth before you; he shall 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 the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

Then ye answered and said to 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 ascend the hill.
