Numbers [In the desert] 23:20-27

²⁰Behold, I am ordered to bless. When he blesses, and I can’t reverse it.

²¹He has not seen iniquity in Jacob Supplanter. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel God prevails. Adonai his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

²²God brings them out of Egypt Abode of slavery. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

²³Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob Supplanter; Neither is there any divination with Israel God prevails. Now it shall be said of Jacob Supplanter and of Israel God prevails, ‘What has God done!’

²⁴Behold, the people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

²⁵Balak said to Balaam Not people, Destroyer of people, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”

²⁶But Balaam Not people, Destroyer of people answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that Adonai speaks, that I must do?’” (RY:7, LY:6)

²⁷Balak said to Balaam Not people, Destroyer of people, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
