¹ AND Bil'am said unto Balaq, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

² And Balaq did as Bil'am had spoken; and Balaq and Bil'am offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

³ And Bil`am said unto Balaq, Stand by your ascending smoke offering, and I will go: perchance Yahuah will come to meet me: and whatsoever he shows me I will tell you. And he went to a high place.

⁴ And Elohiym met Bil'am: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.

⁵ And Yahuah put a word in Bil'am's mouth, and said, Return unto Balaq, and thus you shall speak.

⁶ And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his ascending smoke sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Mo'av.

⁷ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaq the king of Mo'av has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Ya`aqov, and come, defy Yashar'el.

⁸ How shall I curse, whom El has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom Yahuah has not defied?

⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Ya`aqov, and the number of the fourth part of Yashar'el? Let me die the death of the yashariym, and let my last end be like his!

¹¹ And Balaq said unto Bil'am, What have you done unto me? I took you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have blessed them altogether.

¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that את which Yahuah has put in my mouth?

¹³ And Balaq said unto him, Come, I pray you, with me unto another place, from whence you may see them: you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴ And he brought him into the field of Tsophiym, to the top of Picgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And he said unto Balaq, Stand here by your ascending smoke offering, while I meet Yahuah yonder.

¹⁶ And Yahuah met Bil'am, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balaq, and say thus.

¹⁷ And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his ascending smoke offering, and the princes of Mo'av with him. And Balaq said unto him, What has Yahuah spoken?

¹⁸ And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balaq, and hear; hearken unto me, you son of Tsippor:

¹⁹ El is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of A'dam, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

²⁰ Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

²¹ He has not beheld iniquity in Ya`aqov, neither has he seen perverseness in Yashar'el: Yahuah Elohayu is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

²² El brought them out of Mitsrayim; he has as it were the strength of a unicorn.

²³ Surely there is no enchantment against Ya`aqov, neither is there any divination against Yashar'el: according to this time it shall be said of Ya`aqov and of Yashar'el, What has El wrought!

²⁴ Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

²⁵ And Balaq said unto Bil'am, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

²⁶ But Bil'am answered and said unto Balaq, Told not I you, saying, All that Yahuah speaks, that I must do?

²⁷ And Balaq said unto Bil'am, Come, I pray you, I will bring you unto another place; perchance it will please Elohiym that you may curse me them from thence.

²⁸ And Balaq brought Bil'am unto the top of Pe'or, that looks toward Yeshiymon.

²⁹ And Bil'am said unto Balaq, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

³⁰ And Balaq did as Bil'am had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
