Bamidbar 24

And when Bil'am saw that it pleased 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to bless Yashar'al, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

And Bil'am lifted up his eyes, and he saw Yashar'al abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the Ruach Alahiym came upon him.

And he took up his parable, and said, "Bil'am the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

He hath said, which heard the words of El, which saw the vision of El Shaddai, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

"How goodly are thy tents, O Ya’aqob, and thy tabernacles, O Yashar'al!

As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

El brought him forth out of Mitzrayim; he hath as it were the strength of a wild ox (re'em): he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee."

And Balaq's anger was kindled against Bil'am, and he smote his hands together: and Balaq said unto Bil'am, "I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath kept thee back from honor."

And Bil'am said unto Balaq, "Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

If Balaq would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 saith, that will I speak?

And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days."

And he took up his parable, and said, "Bil'am the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

He hath said, which heard the words of El, and knew the knowledge of Elyon, which saw the vision of El Shaddai, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

"I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Ya’aqob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Yashar'al, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Yashar'al shall do valiantly.

Out of Ya’aqob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city."

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."

And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, "Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive."

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

And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Abar, and he also shall perish for ever."

And Bil'am rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balaq also went his way.
