  1. Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
  2. Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
  3. Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. He went to a bare height.
  4. God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
  5. Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
  6. He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
  7. He took up his parable, and said, From Aram has Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, Come, defy Israel.
  8. How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy, whom Yahweh has not defied?
  9. For from the top of the rocks I see him, From the hills I see him: behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations.
  10. Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, Let my last end be like his!
  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, 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 there.
  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 Yahweh yonder.
  16. Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and say this.
  17. He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, What has Yahweh spoken?
  18. He took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
  19. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
  20. Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can't reverse it.
