Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it (23:20) He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them (23:21) God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn (23:22) Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! (23:23) 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 (23:24) And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all (23:25) But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do? (23:26) And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence (23:27) And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon (23:28) And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams (23:29) And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar
(23:30)
