God
that brought them out of Egypt, is as the strength of an unicorn
unto them, for there is no sorcerer, in Iacob, nor soothsayer in
Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Iacob and of
Israel, what God hath wrought. Behold, the people shall rise up as
a lioness and heave up himself as a lion, and shall not lie down
again, until he have eaten of the prey and drunk of the blood of
them that are slain. And Balac said unto Balam: neither curse them
nor bless them. And Balam answered and said unto Balac: told not I
thee saying, all that the LORD biddeth me, that I must do? And
Balac said unto Balam: come I pray thee, I will bring thee yet
unto another place: so peradventure it shall please God, that thou
mayst curse them there. And Balac brought Balam unto the top of
Peor, that boweth toward the wilderness. And Balam said unto
Balac: make me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven
bullocks and seven rams. And Balac did as Balam had said, and
offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Chapter .xxiiij.
When Balam saw that it pleased the LORD that he should bless
Israel, he went not as he did twice before to fetch soothsaying,
but set his face toward the wilderness, and lift up his eyes and
looked upon Israel as he lay with his tribes, and the spirit of
God came upon him.
