Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.” Num 23:29Jud 1:111Ch 15:261Sa 15:222Ch 29:212Ki 18:22Exo 20:24Exo 27:1-8
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram. Num 23:14Num 23:30 Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” Num 23:15Gen 22:13Gen 22:2Gen 22:7-8Gen 8:20Lev 1:1Num 22:31-35Num 24:1
He went to a bare height. God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.” Num 23:16Eph 2:9Luk 18:12Isa 58:3-4Jhn 16:2Mat 20:12Num 22:20Num 22:9
The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.” Deu 18:18Jer 1:9Isa 51:16Isa 59:21Num 23:16Jhn 11:51Luk 12:12Num 22:20
He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. He took up his parable, and said, Deu 23:4Num 22:5-6Num 23:18Num 24:3Job 29:1Mic 2:4Num 24:15Num 24:23
“From Aram has Balak brought me,
the king of Moab from the mountains of the East.
Come, curse Jacob for me.
Come, defy Israel.
How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? Num 23:23Isa 44:25Num 23:20Num 22:12Isa 47:12-13
How shall I defy whom the LORD has not defied?
For from the top of the rocks I see him. Deu 33:28Deu 32:8Exo 33:16Est 3:8Ezr 9:21Pe 2:92Co 6:17Amo 9:9
From the hills I see him.
Behold, it is a people that dwells alone,
and shall not be listed among the nations.
Who can count the dust of Jacob, Gen 13:16Psa 37:37Psa 116:15Rev 14:132Co 5:12Ti 4:6-8Gen 22:17Isa 57:1-2
or count the fourth part of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous!
Let my last end be like his!”
Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.” Neh 13:2Num 24:10Num 22:17Num 23:7-8Psa 109:17-20Num 22:11
He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD puts in my mouth?” Num 22:38Num 23:20Num 23:26Num 24:13Pro 26:25Num 22:20Rom 16:18Tit 1:16
Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.” Jas 3:9-10Psa 109:171Ki 20:231Ki 20:28Jos 24:9Mic 6:5Num 22:41
He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar. Deu 3:27Deu 34:1Deu 4:49Hos 12:11Isa 1:10-11Isa 46:6Num 21:20Num 23:1-2 He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.” Num 23:3Num 22:8
The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.” Num 23:5Num 22:35Num 24:1
He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?” 1Sa 3:17Jer 37:17Num 23:26
He took up his parable, and said, Jdg 3:20
“Rise up, Balak, and hear!
Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
God is not a man, that he should lie, 1Sa 15:29Jas 1:17Mal 3:6Heb 6:18Tit 1:2Luk 21:33Rom 11:29Hab 2:3
nor a son of man, that he should repent.
Has he said, and he won’t do it?
Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
Behold, I have received a command to bless. Jhn 10:27-29Num 22:12Gen 12:2Gen 22:17Isa 43:13Num 22:18Rom 8:38-391Pe 1:5
He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Psa 23:4Mat 1:23Jer 50:20Rom 4:7-8Exo 29:45-46Isa 38:17Psa 46:11Hos 14:2-4
Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel.
The LORD his God is with him.
The shout of a king is among them.
God brings them out of Egypt. Num 24:8Deu 33:17Exo 20:2Job 39:9-11Psa 22:21Exo 14:18Exo 9:16Num 22:5
He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Luk 10:18-19Jos 13:22Mic 6:4-5Num 24:1Psa 64:9Rom 16:20Gal 1:23-24Mat 12:27
neither is there any divination with Israel.
Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel,
‘What has God done!’
Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. Gen 49:27Gen 49:9Num 24:17Num 24:8-9Rev 5:5Zec 12:6Amo 3:8Deu 33:20
As a lion he lifts himself up.
He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey,
and drinks the blood of the slain.”
Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.” Psa 2:1-3
But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?” Act 5:29Num 22:182Ch 18:13Act 4:19-20Num 22:381Ki 22:14Num 23:12-13Num 24:12-13
Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.” Rom 11:29Isa 14:27Isa 46:10-11Job 23:13Num 23:13Num 23:19-20Pro 19:21Pro 21:30
Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert. Num 21:20Psa 106:28 Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.” Num 23:1-2
Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
