Numbers 23:6-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.

7. And he lifted up his oracle and said, “From Aram Balak lead me, from the mountains of the east the king of Moab, ‘Go for me, curse Jacob, and go, denounce Israel.’

8. How can I curse whom God has not cursed, and how can I denounce whom Yahweh has not denounced?

9. Because from the top of the rocks I see him, from hilltops I watch him. Behold, a people who dwell alone, they do not consider themselves among the nations.

10. Who can count the dust of Jacob, or as a number the fourth part of Israel? Let my life die the death of an upright person, and let my end be like his!”
