¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴ And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder.

¹¹ And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed them.

¹² And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?

¹³ And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴ And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried rock, and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.

¹¹ And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

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

¹² But Balaam replied, “I can RHQ say only what Yahweh tells me to say. I cannot say anything else.”

¹³ Then King Balak told Balaam, “Come with me to another place. There you will see only part of the Israeli people, and you will be able to curse those people for me.”

¹⁴ So Balak took Balaam to a field on the top of Pisgah Mountain. There, again he built seven altars and offered a young bull and a ram as a sacrifice on each altar.

¹⁵ Then Balaam said to the king, “Stand here close to your burned offerings, while I go and talk with Yahweh.”

¹¹ And Balac said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I called you to curse my enemies, and behold you have greatly blessed them.

¹² And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?

¹³ And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where you shall not see the people, but only you shall see a part of them, and shall not see them all; and curse me them from thence.

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

¹² He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

¹³ Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

¹⁴ He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

¹² He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

¹³ Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

¹⁴ He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

¹³ Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

¹⁴ He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

¹¹ Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

¹² And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

¹⁴ So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

¹⁵ Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.

¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴ And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.

¹⁵ And Balaam said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.

¹¹ And Balac said to Balaam: What is this that thou dost? I sent for thee to curse my enemies: and thou contrariwise blessest them.

¹² He answered him: Call I speak any thing else but what the Lord commandeth?

¹³ Balac therefore said: Come with me to another place from whence thou mayest see part of Israel, and canst not see them all: curse them from thence.

¹⁴ And when he had brought him to a high place, upon the top of mount Phasga, Balaam built seven altars, and laying on every one a calf and a ram,

¹⁵ He said to Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go to meet him.

¹¹ Then Balak complained to Balaam, “What on earth have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and now look! All you have done is bless them!”

¹² But Balaam replied, “Don't you think I should I say precisely what the Lord tells me?”

¹³ Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. But you'll only see a part of their camp—you won't see all of them. You can curse them for me from there.”

¹⁴ He took him to the field of Zophim at the top of Mount Pisgah. There he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

¹⁵ Balaam told Balak, “Wait here beside your burnt offering while I meet the Lord over there.”

¹¹ Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, What hast thou done vnto mee? I tooke thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them altogether.

¹² And he answered, and said, Must I not take heede to speake that, which the Lord hath put in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak sayde vnto him, Come, I pray thee, with mee vnto another place, whence thou mayest see them, and thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: therefore curse them out of that place for my sake.

¹⁴ And he brought him into Sede-sophim to the top of Pisgah, and built seuen altars, and offred a bullocke, and a ramme on euery altar.

¹⁵ After, he sayde vnto Balak, Stande here by thy burnt offring, and I wil meete the Lord yonder.

¹¹ And Balak said unto Balaam: 'What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.'

¹² And he answered and said: 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?'

¹³ And Balak said unto him: 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.'

¹⁴ And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.'

¹¹ And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

¹⁵ And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.

¹¹ And Balak said unto Bil'am, What hast thou done unto me? to denounce my enemies did I take thee, and, behold, thou hast even blessed them.

¹² And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that only which the Lord may put in my mouth?

¹³ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from where thou canst see them; nevertheless a portion of them only wilt thou see, but the whole of them thou wilt not see: and denounce them for me from there.

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

¹⁵ And he said unto Balak, Place thyself here by thy burnt-offering, while I will repair to yonder place.

¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed them.

¹² And Balaam said to Balak, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?

¹³ And Balak said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴ And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried rock, and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to inquire of God.

¹¹ And Balak said to Bileam, What hast thou done to me? I brought thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, blessing hast thou blessed them.

¹² But he said, That which the Lord hath put in my mouth must I not observe to speak?

¹³ And Balak said to him, Come now with me to another place, from whence thou mayest see him, where thou canst see only the outer side, but not the whole, and curse him for me from thence.

¹⁴ And he brought him to the field of the watch-tower on the top of the hill; and builded seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ And he said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, and I will go yonder.

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam Not people, Destroyer of people, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

¹² He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which Adonai puts in my mouth?” (LY:5)

¹³ Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

¹⁴ He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵ He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet over there.”

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but look, you have blessed them.”

¹² Balaam answered and said, “Should I not be careful to say only what Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

¹³ So Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the nearest of them, not all of them. There you will curse them for me.”

¹⁴ So he took Balaam into the field of Zophim, to the top of Mount Pisgah, and built seven more altars. He offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

¹⁵ Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet with Yahweh over there.”

¹¹ Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

¹² He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

¹⁵ He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What is this that thou doest? I called thee, that thou shouldest curse mine enemies, and on the contrary, thou blessest them.

¹² To whom Balaam answered, Whether I may speak other thing, no but that that the Lord commandeth?

¹³ Therefore Balak said to Balaam, Come with me into another place, from whence thou mayest see a part of Israel, and thou mayest not see all; from thence curse thou him.

¹⁴ And when he had led Balaam into an high place, on the top of the hill of Pisgah, he builded there seven altars to Balaam, and when calves and rams were put above them,

¹⁵ Balaam said to Balak, Stand here beside thy burnt sacrifice, while I go to meet with the Lord.

¹¹ And Balak said to Balaam, What is this that thou doest? I called thee, that thou shouldest curse mine enemies, and on the contrary, thou blessest them.

¹² To whom Balaam answered, Whether I may speak (any) other thing, no but that that the Lord commandeth?

¹³ Therefore Balak said to Balaam, Come with me into another place, from whence thou mayest see a part of Israel, and thou mayest not see all; from thence curse thou him.

¹⁴ And when he had led Balaam into an high place, on the top of the hill of Pisgah, he builded there seven altars to Balaam, and when calves and rams were put above them, (And so when he had led Balaam to the Field of Zophim, that is, to the Field of the Watchers, on top of Mount Pisgah, he built seven altars for Balaam, and when a calf and a ram were offered on each altar,)

¹⁵ Balaam said to Balak, Stand here beside thy burnt sacrifice, while I go to meet with the Lord.

¹¹ And Balaach seide to Balaam, What is this that thou doist? Y clepide thee, that thou schuldist curse myn enemyes, and ayenward thou blessist hem.

¹² To whom Balaam answeride, Whether Y may speke othir thing no but that that the Lord comaundith?

¹³ Therfor Balaach seide to Balaam, Come with me in to anothir place, fro whennus thou se a part of Israel, and mayst not se al; fro thennus curse thou hym.

¹⁴ And whanne he hadde led Balaam in to an hiy place, on the cop of the hil of Phasga, he bildide seuene auteris to Balaam, and whanne calues and rammes weren put aboue,

¹⁵ he seide to Balaach, Stonde here bisidis thi brent sacrifice, while Y go.

¹¹ And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'What hast thou done to me? to pierce mine enemies I have taken thee — and lo, thou hast certainly blessed;'

¹² and he answereth and saith, 'That which Jehovah doth put in my mouth — it do I not take heed to speak?'

¹³ And Balak saith unto him, 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, whence thou dost see it, only its extremity thou dost see, and all of it thou dost not see, and pierce it for me thence;'

¹⁴ and he taketh him to the field of Zophim, unto the top of Pisgah, and buildeth seven altars, and offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar.

¹⁵ And he saith unto Balak, 'Station thyself here by thy burnt-offering, and I — I meet Him there;'
