04:023:028 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh
           toward Jeshimon.

04:023:029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
           prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

04:023:030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a
           ram on every altar.

04:024:001 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the lord to bless Israel,
           he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but
           he set his face toward the wilderness.

04:024:002 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in
           his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God
           came upon him.

04:024:003 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
           hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 

04:024:004 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the
           vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his
           eyes open: 

04:024:005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O
           Israel!

04:024:006 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the
           river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the lord hath
           planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

04:024:007 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall
           be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and
           his kingdom shall be exalted.

04:024:008 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
           strength of an unicorn:  he shall eat up the nations his
           enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through
           with his arrows.

04:024:009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion:  who
           shall stir him up?  Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and
           cursed is he that curseth thee.

04:024:010 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
           hands together:  and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to
           curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed
           them these three times.

04:024:011 Therefore now flee thou to thy place:  I thought to promote
           thee unto great honour; but, lo, the lord hath kept thee back
           from honour.

04:024:012 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
           which thou sentest unto me, saying,

04:024:013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
           cannot go beyond the commandment of the lord, to do either
           good or bad of mine own mind; but what the lord saith, that
           will I speak?
