When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness. Num 23:23Num 22:13Num 23:15Num 23:20Num 23:28Num 23:3Num 31:16Rev 2:14 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him. 1Sa 19:202Ch 15:11Sa 10:101Sa 19:23Num 11:25-29Num 2:2-34Jhn 11:49-51Luk 10:20 He took up his parable, and said, Num 23:7Num 24:16Num 22:31Num 23:18Num 24:4
“Balaam the son of Beor says,
the man whose eyes are open says;
he says, who hears the words of God, Rev 1:17Rev 1:102Co 12:1-4Ezk 1:28Num 12:61Sa 19:24Act 10:10Act 10:19
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down, and having his eyes open:
How goodly are your tents, Jacob,
and your dwellings, Israel!
As valleys they are spread out, Psa 1:3Isa 58:11Psa 104:16Ezk 31:3-4Ezk 47:12Gen 13:10Gen 2:8-10Isa 41:19
as gardens by the riverside,
as aloes which the LORD has planted,
as cedar trees beside the waters.
Water shall flow from his buckets. 2Sa 5:121Ch 14:2Jer 51:13Rev 17:11Sa 15:8-9Rev 17:15Rev 19:161Ki 4:21
His seed shall be in many waters.
His king shall be higher than Agag.
His kingdom shall be exalted.
God brings him out of Egypt. Psa 45:5Jer 50:17Num 14:9Num 23:22Num 23:24Psa 2:9Isa 38:13Jer 50:9
He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
He shall consume the nations his adversaries,
shall break their bones in pieces,
and pierce them with his arrows.
He couched, he lay down as a lion, Gen 12:3Gen 27:29Gen 49:9Num 23:24Mat 25:45Job 38:39-40Mat 25:40Act 9:5
as a lioness;
who shall rouse him up?
Everyone who blesses you is blessed.
Everyone who curses you is cursed.”
Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times. Ezk 21:14Num 23:11Ezk 21:17Ezk 22:13Job 27:23Jos 24:9-10Neh 13:2Deu 23:4-5 Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honor.” Num 22:17Num 22:371Pe 5:2-32Jn 1:8Act 8:20Heb 11:24-26Mat 19:28-30Php 3:8
Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying, Num 22:18Num 22:38 ‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’? Num 16:28Num 22:18Num 22:20 Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.” Mic 6:5Gen 49:1Rev 2:14Dan 2:282Ti 3:1Act 2:17Dan 10:14Hos 3:5
He took up his parable, and said, Num 23:7Num 24:3-4Job 27:1Mat 13:35Num 23:18
“Balaam the son of Beor says,
the man whose eyes are open says;
he says, who hears the words of God, Num 24:41Co 13:21Co 8:12Sa 23:1-2
knows the knowledge of the Most High,
and who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down, and having his eyes open:
I see him, but not now. Rev 22:16Luk 1:32-33Gen 49:10Rev 1:7Rev 11:152Pe 1:19Mat 2:2-9Psa 45:6
I see him, but not near.
A star will come out of Jacob.
A scepter will rise out of Israel,
and shall strike through the corners of Moab,
and crush all the sons of Sheth.
Edom shall be a possession. Amo 9:122Sa 8:14Gen 27:29Gen 27:40Gen 32:3Isa 34:5Isa 63:1Psa 60:1
Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession,
while Israel does valiantly.
Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, Gen 49:10Mat 28:18Mic 5:2Psa 2:1-121Co 15:251Pe 3:22Eph 1:20-22Isa 11:10
and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Exo 17:14Exo 17:81Ch 4:431Sa 14:481Sa 15:3-81Sa 27:8-91Sa 30:11Sa 30:17
“Amalek was the first of the nations,
but his latter end shall come to destruction.”
He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, Gen 15:19Jdg 1:16Job 29:18
“Your dwelling place is strong.
Your nest is set in the rock.
Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, Ezr 4:2Gen 10:11Gen 10:22Psa 83:8Hos 14:3
until Asshur carries you away captive.”
He took up his parable, and said, Num 23:232Ki 5:1Mal 3:2
“Alas, who shall live when God does this?
But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. Gen 10:4Dan 10:20Dan 11:30Gen 10:21-25Num 24:20Dan 11:45Dan 2:35Dan 2:45
They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber.
He also shall come to destruction.”
Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way. Num 31:8Jos 13:22Num 24:11
