Numbers 23:20-28

²⁰I am brought hither by the Lord to bless; (and) I may not forbid, or hinder, (the) blessing.

²¹None idol is in Jacob, neither simulacrum is seen in Israel; his Lord God is with him, and the sound of the victory of a king is in him. (There is no idolatry in Jacob, no false god is seen in Israel; the Lord their God is with them, and they hear the shout of the victory of their King.)
