And he answered and said: must I not keep that and speak it,
which the LORD hath put in my mouth? And Balac said unto him: Come
I pray thee with me unto another place, whence thou shalt see
them, and shalt see but the utmost part of them and shalt not see
them all and curse me them there. And he brought him into a plain
field where men might see far, even to the top of Pisga, and built
seven altars and offered an ox and a ram on every altar. And he
said unto Balac: stond here by thy sacrifice while I go yonder.
And the LORD met Balam and put words in his mouth and said: go
again unto Balac and thus say. And when he came to him: behold, he
stood by his sacrifice and the lords of Moab with him; And Balac
said unto him: what sayeth the LORD? And he took up his parable
and said: rise up Balac and hear, and hearken unto me thou son of
Ziphor. The Lorde {|God|} is not a man, that he can lie, neither
the son of a man that he can repent: should he say and not do, or
should he speak and not make it good? behold, I have begun to
bless and have blessed, and can not go back therefrom. He beheld
no wickedness in Iacob nor saw Idolatry in Israel: The LORD his
God is with him, and the tromp {triumph} of a king among them.
