Numbers 23:21-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. He has no regard for evil in Jacob, and he does not see trouble in Israel; Yahweh his God is with him, and a shout of a king is among them.

22. God, who brings them out from Egypt, is like the strength of a wild ox for them.

23. Because there is no sorcery against Jacob, and there is no divination against Israel. Now it will be said to Jacob and Israel, what God has done!

24. Look! the people will rise like the lion; he raises himself and will not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”

25. Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all, nor bless them at all!”

26. But Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Whatever Yahweh speaks I will do’?”

27. Then Balak said to Balaam, “Please, come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be acceptable to God, and you will curse for me from there.”

28. So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks down on the face of the Jeshimon.

29. And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me these seven altars, and prepare for me these seven bulls and seven rams.”

30. Balak did just as Balaam said, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
