Num Numbers, chapter Book of Numbers, chapter 24
When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to blesse Israel, then he went not, as certaine times before, to set diuinations, but set his face toward the wildernesse. Num 23:3And Balaam lift vp his eyes, and looked vpon Israel, which dwelt according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came vpon him. And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man, whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd, He hath sayde, which heard the wordes of God, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened: How goodly are thy tentes, O Iaakob, and thine habitations, O Israel! Jos 24:10As the valleis, are they stretched forth, as gardes by the riuers side, as the aloe trees, which the Lord hath planted, as the cedars beside the waters. Psa 1:3; Jer 17:8The water droppeth out of his bucket, and his seede shalbe in many waters, and his king shall be hier then Agag, and his kingdome shall bee exalted. God brought him out of Egypt: his strength shalbe as an vnicorne: he shall eate the nations his enemies, and bruise their bones, and shoote them through with his arrowes. Num 23:22He coucheth and lieth downe as a yong lion, and as a lion: who shall stirre him vp? blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. Gen 49:9Then Balak was very angry with Balaam, and smote his handes together: so Balak sayde vnto Balaam, I sent for thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them nowe three times. Therefore nowe flee vnto thy place: I thought surely to promote thee vnto honour, but loe, the Lord hath kept thee backe from honour. Then Balaam answered Balak, Tolde I not also thy messengers, which thou sentest vnto me, saying, If Balak would giue me his house ful of siluer and gold, I can not passe the commandement of the Lord, to doe either good or bad of mine owne minde? what the Lord shall commaund, the same will I speake. Num 22:18And nowe behold, I goe vnto my people: come, I will aduertise thee what this people shall doe to thy folke in the later dayes. Num 25:1; Num 31:16; Rev 2:14And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd, He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened: I shall see him, but not nowe: I shall behold him, but not neere: there shall come a starre of Iaakob, and a scepter shall rise of Israel, and shall smite the coastes of Moab, and destroy all the sonnes of Sheth. Mat 2:2; Gen 49:10; 2Sa 8:2And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly. 2Sa 8:14; Gen 36:8He also that shall haue dominion shall bee of Iaakob, and shall destroy the remnant of the citie. Rom 9:5; 2Co 10:5; Rev 19:6And when he looked on Amalek, he vttered his parable, and sayd, Amalek was the first of the nations: but his latter ende shall come to destruction. Deu 25:19And he looked on the Kenites, and vttered his parable, and sayde, Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest in the rocke. Jdg 1:16; 1Sa 15:6Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe spoyled vntill Asshur cary thee away captiue. Againe he vttered his parable, and sayd, Alas, who shall liue when God doeth this? The ships also shall come from the coastes of Chittim, and subdue Asshur, and shall subdue Eber, and he also shall come to destruction. Dan 11:30Then Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.Num 31:8
