| 13 | And Balak said to him, "Come with me to another place, from which you may see them; you shall see only the nearest of them, and shall not see them all; then curse them for me from there." | Balaam's second prophecy. Nu.23.13-26 | וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בָּלָק כ= לְךָ־נָּא ק= לְכָה אִתִּי אֶל־מָקֹום אַחֵר אֲשֶׁר תִּרְאֶנּוּ מִשָּׁם אֶפֶס קָצֵהוּ תִרְאֶה וְכֻלֹּו לֹא תִרְאֶה וְקָבְנֹו־לִי מִשָּׁם׃ |
| 14 | And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. | וַיִּקָּחֵהוּ שְׂדֵה צֹפִים אֶל־רֹאשׁ הַפִּסְגָּה וַיִּבֶן שִׁבְעָה מִזְבְּחֹת וַיַּעַל פָּר וָאַיִל בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ׃ | |
| 15 | Balaam said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet Yahweh yonder." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־בָּלָק הִתְיַצֵּב כֹּה עַל־עֹלָתֶךָ וְאָנֹכִי אִקָּרֶה כֹּה׃ | |
| 16 | And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak." | וַיִּקָּר יְהוָה אֶל־בִּלְעָם וַיָּשֶׂם דָּבָר בְּפִיו וַיֹּאמֶר שׁוּב אֶל־בָּלָק וְכֹה תְדַבֵּר׃ | |
| 17 | And he came to him, and, lo, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has Yahweh spoken?" | וַיָּבֹא אֵלָיו וְהִנֹּו נִצָּב עַל־עֹלָתֹו וְשָׂרֵי מֹואָב אִתֹּו וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו בָּלָק מַה־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה׃ | |
| 18 | And Balaam took up his discourse, and said, "Rise, Balak, and hear; | וַיִּשָּׂא מְשָׁלֹו וַיֹּאמַר
| |
| 19 | God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it? | לֹא אִישׁ אֵל וִיכַזֵּב וּבֶן־אָדָם וְיִתְנֶחָם הַהוּא אָמַר וְלֹא יַעֲשֶׂה וְדִבֶּר וְלֹא יְקִימֶנָּה׃ | |
| 20 | Behold, I received a command to bless: he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it. | הִנֵּה בָרֵךְ לָקָחְתִּי וּבֵרֵךְ וְלֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנָּה׃ | |
| 21 | He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob; nor has he seen trouble in Israel. Yahweh their God is with them, and the shout of a king is among them. | לֹא־הִבִּיט אָוֶן בְּיַעֲקֹב וְלֹא־רָאָה עָמָל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמֹּו וּתְרוּעַת מֶלֶךְ בֹּו׃ | |
| 22 | God brings them out of Egypt; they have as it were the horns of the wild ox. | אֵל מֹוצִיאָם מִמִּצְרָיִם כְּתֹועֲפֹת רְאֵם לֹו׃ | |
| 23 | For there is no enchantment against Jacob, no divination against Israel; now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel, 'What has God wrought! | כִּי לֹא־נַחַשׁ בְּיַעֲקֹב וְלֹא־קֶסֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כָּעֵת יֵאָמֵר לְיַעֲקֹב וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל מַה־פָּעַל אֵל׃ | |
| 24 | Behold, a people! As a lioness it rises up and as a lion it lifts itself; it does not lie down till it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain." | הֶן־עָם כְּלָבִיא יָקוּם וְכַאֲרִי יִתְנַשָּׂא לֹא יִשְׁכַּב עַד־יֹאכַל טֶרֶף וְדַם־חֲלָלִים יִשְׁתֶּה׃ | |
| 25 | And Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all." | וַיֹּאמֶר בָּלָק אֶל־בִּלְעָם גַּם־קֹב לֹא תִקֳּבֶנּוּ גַּם־בָּרֵךְ לֹא תְבָרֲכֶנּוּ׃ | |
| 26 | But Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell you, 'All that Yahweh says, that I must do?'" | וַיַּעַן בִּלְעָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־בָּלָק הֲלֹא דִּבַּרְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֹתֹו אֶעֱשֶׂה׃ | |
