1, 13, 28 Balak's sacrifice. 7, 18 Balaam's parables.

 23:1 ¶ And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 Build 1129 z8798 me here x2088 seven 7651 altars, 4196 and prepare 3559 z8685 me here x2088 seven 7651 oxen 6499 and seven 7651 rams. 352

 23:2 And Balak 1111 did 6213 z8799 as x834 Balaam 1109 had spoken; 1696 z8765 and Balak 1111 and Balaam 1109 offered 5927 z8686 on [every] altar 4196 a bullock 6499 and a ram. 352

 23:3 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto Balak, 1111 Stand 3320 z8690 by x5921 thy burnt offering, 5930 and I will go: y3212 z8799 x1980 peradventure x194 the LORD 3068 will come 7136 z8735 to meet 7125 z8800 me: and whatsoever 1697 x4100 he sheweth 7200 z8686 me I will tell 5046 z8689 thee. And he went y3212 z8799 x1980 to an high place. 8205

 23:4 And God 430 met 7136 z8735 x413 Balaam: 1109 and he said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, I have prepared 6186 z8804 x853 seven 7651 altars, 4196 and I have offered 5927 z8686 upon [every] altar 4196 a bullock 6499 and a ram. 352

 23:5 And the LORD 3068 put 7760 z8799 a word 1697 in Balaam's 1109 mouth, 6310 and said, 559 z8799 Return 7725 z8798 unto x413 Balak, 1111 and thus x3541 thou shalt speak. 1696 z8762

 23:6 And he returned 7725 z8799 unto x413 him, and, lo, x2009 he stood 5324 z8737 by x5921 his burnt sacrifice, 5930 he, x1931 and all x3605 the princes 8269 of Moab. 4124

 23:7 And he took up 5375 z8799 his parable, 4912 and said, 559 z8799 Balak 1111 the king 4428 of Moab 4124 hath brought 5148 z8686 me from x4480 Aram, 758 out of the mountains 2042 x4480 of the east, 6924 [saying], Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 curse 779 z8798 me Jacob, 3290 and come, y3212 z8798 x1980 defy 2194 z8798 Israel. 3478

 23:8 How 4100 shall I curse, y5344 z8799 x6895 whom God 410 hath not x3808 cursed? 6895 z8804 or how x4100 shall I defy, 2194 z8799 [whom] the LORD 3068 hath not x3808 defied? 2194 z8804

 23:9 For x3588 from the top 7218 x4480 of the rocks 6697 I see 7200 z8799 him, and from the hills 1389 x4480 I behold 7789 z8799 him: lo, x2005 the people 5971 shall dwell 7931 z8799 alone, 910 and shall not x3808 be reckoned 2803 z8691 among the nations. 1471

 23:10 Who x4310 can count 4487 z8804 the dust 6083 of Jacob, 3290 and the number 4557 of x853 the fourth 7255 [part] of Israel? 3478 Let me x5315 die 4191 z8799 y5315 the death 4194 of the righteous, 3477 and let my last y319 end x319 be x1961 like his! x3644

 23:11 And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 What x4100 hast thou done 6213 z8804 unto me? I took 3947 z8804 thee to curse 6895 z8800 mine enemies, 341 z8802 and, behold, x2009 thou hast blessed y1288 z8765 [them] altogether. 1288 z8763

 23:12 And he answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 Must I not x3808 take heed 8104 z8799 to speak 1696 z8763 that x853 which x834 the LORD 3068 hath put 7760 z8799 in my mouth? 6310

 23:13 And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 I pray thee, x4994 with x854 me unto x413 another 312 place, 4725 from whence x834 x4480 x8033 thou mayest see 7200 z8799 them: thou shalt see 7200 z8799 but 657 the utmost y7097 part x7097 of them, and shalt not x3808 see 7200 z8799 them all: x3605 and curse 6895 z8798 me them from thence. x4480 x8033

 23:14 ¶ And he brought 3947 z8799 him into the field 7704 of Zophim, 6839 z8677 y6822 z8802 to x413 the top 7218 of Pisgah, 6449 and built 1129 z8799 seven 7651 altars, 4196 and offered 5927 z8686 a bullock 6499 and a ram 352 on [every] altar. 4196

 23:15 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 Stand 3320 z8690 here 3541 by x5921 thy burnt offering, 5930 while I x595 meet 7136 z8735 [the LORD] yonder. 3541

 23:16 And the LORD 3068 met 7136 z8735 x413 Balaam, 1109 and put 7760 z8799 a word 1697 in his mouth, 6310 and said, 559 z8799 Go again 7725 z8798 unto x413 Balak, 1111 and say 1696 z8762 thus. x3541

 23:17 And when he came 935 z8799 to x413 him, behold, x2009 he stood 5324 z8737 by x5921 his burnt offering, 5930 and the princes 8269 of Moab 4124 with x854 him. And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto him, What x4100 hath the LORD 3068 spoken? 1696 z8765

 23:18 And he took up 5375 z8799 his parable, 4912 and said, 559 z8799 Rise up, 6965 z8798 Balak, 1111 and hear; 8085 z8798 hearken 238 z8685 unto x5704 me, thou son 1121 of Zippor: 6834

 23:19 God 410 [is] not x3808 a man, 376 that he should lie; 3576 z8762 neither the son 1121 of man, 120 that he should repent: 5162 z8691 hath he x1931 said, 559 z8804 and shall he not x3808 do 6213 z8799 [it]? or hath he spoken, 1696 z8765 and shall he not x3808 make it good? 6965 z8686

 23:20 Behold, x2009 I have received 3947 z8804 [commandment] to bless: 1288 z8763 and he hath blessed; 1288 z8765 and I cannot x3808 reverse 7725 z8686 it.

 23:21 He hath not x3808 beheld 5027 z8689 iniquity 205 in Jacob, 3290 neither x3808 hath he seen 7200 z8804 perverseness 5999 in Israel: 3478 the LORD 3068 his God 430 [is] with x5973 him, and the shout 8643 of a king 4428 [is] among them.

 23:22 God 410 brought them out 3318 z8688 of Egypt; 4714 x4480 he hath as it were the strength 8443 of an unicorn. 7214

 23:23 Surely x3588 [there is] no x3808 enchantment 5173 against Jacob, 3290 neither x3808 [is there] any divination 7081 against Israel: 3478 according to this time 6256 it shall be said 559 z8735 of Jacob 3290 and of Israel, 3478 What x4100 hath God 410 wrought! 6466 z8804

 23:24 Behold, x2005 the people 5971 shall rise up 6965 z8799 as a great lion, 3833 and lift up y5375 z8691 himself x5375 as a young lion: 738 he shall not x3808 lie down 7901 z8799 until x5704 he eat 398 z8799 [of] the prey, 2964 and drink 8354 z8799 the blood 1818 of the slain. 2491

 23:25 ¶ And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 Neither x1571 x3808 curse y5344 z8799 them at all, 6895 z8800 nor x1571 x3808 bless y1288 z8762 them at all. 1288 z8763

 23:26 But Balaam 1109 answered 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 Told 1696 z8765 x413 not x3808 I thee, saying, 559 z8800 All x3605 that x834 the LORD 3068 speaketh, 1696 z8762 that I must do? 6213 z8799

 23:27 ¶ And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 I pray thee, x4994 I will bring 3947 z8799 thee unto x413 another 312 place; 4725 peradventure x194 it will please 3474 5869 z8799 God 430 that thou mayest curse 6895 z8804 me them from thence. x4480 x8033

 23:28 And Balak 1111 brought 3947 z8799 x853 Balaam 1109 unto the top 7218 of Peor, 6465 that looketh 8259 z8737 toward 6440 x5921 Jeshimon. 3452

 23:29 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 Build 1129 z8798 me here x2088 seven 7651 altars, 4196 and prepare 3559 z8685 me here x2088 seven 7651 bullocks 6499 and seven 7651 rams. 352

 23:30 And Balak 1111 did 6213 z8799 as x834 Balaam 1109 had said, 559 z8804 and offered 5927 z8686 a bullock 6499 and a ram 352 on [every] altar. 4196
