AND Bil'am said unto Balaq, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
And Balaq did as Bil'am had spoken; and Balaq and Bil'am offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
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.
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.
And Yahuah put a word in Bil'am's mouth, and said, Return unto Balaq, and thus you shall speak.
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his ascending smoke sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Mo'av.
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.
How shall I curse, whom El has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom Yahuah has not defied?
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.
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!
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.
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that את which Yahuah has put in my mouth?
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.
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.
And he said unto Balaq, Stand here by your ascending smoke offering, while I meet Yahuah yonder.
And Yahuah met Bil'am, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balaq, and say thus.
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?
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balaq, and hear; hearken unto me, you son of Tsippor:
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?
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
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.
El brought them out of Mitsrayim; he has as it were the strength of a unicorn.
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!
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.
And Balaq said unto Bil'am, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
But Bil'am answered and said unto Balaq, Told not I you, saying, All that Yahuah speaks, that I must do?
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.
And Balaq brought Bil'am unto the top of Pe'or, that looks toward Yeshiymon.
And Bil'am said unto Balaq, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
And Balaq did as Bil'am had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
