Chapter 23 And Balaam said unto Balak,
Build me here seven altars, and prepare me

00:07.640 --> 00:09.680
here seven oxen and seven rams.

00:09.980 --> 00:11.820
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken.

00:12.360 --> 00:16.280
And Balak and Balaam offered on every
altar a bullock and a ram.

00:16.720 --> 00:20.840
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy
burnt offering, and I will go.

00:21.420 --> 00:25.240
Peradventure the Lord will come to meet
me, and whatsoever he showeth me I will

00:25.240 --> 00:25.780
tell thee.

00:25.920 --> 00:27.360
And he went to an high place.

00:27.360 --> 00:32.600
And God met Balaam, and he said unto him,
I have prepared seven altars, and I have

00:32.600 --> 00:35.040
offered upon every altar a bullock and a
ram.

00:35.220 --> 00:39.720
And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth,
and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou

00:39.720 --> 00:40.400
shalt speak.

00:40.560 --> 00:41.780
And he returned unto him.

00:42.000 --> 00:46.640
And, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he and all the princes of Moab.

00:47.020 --> 00:50.980
And he took up his parable, and said,
Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me

00:50.980 --> 00:55.060
from Aram, out of the mountains of the
east, saying, Come, curse me, Jacob,

00:55.120 --> 00:56.240
and come defy Israel.

00:56.240 --> 00:59.480
How shall I curse whom God hath not
cursed?

00:59.740 --> 01:02.540
Or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not
defied?

01:02.740 --> 01:07.380
For from the top of the rocks I see him,
and from the hills I behold him.

01:07.700 --> 01:11.560
Lo, the people shall dwell alone,
and shall not be reckoned among the

01:11.560 --> 01:11.920
nations.

01:12.260 --> 01:16.040
Who can count the dust of Jacob,
and the number of the fourth part of

01:16.040 --> 01:16.340
Israel?

01:16.860 --> 01:21.100
Let me die the death of the righteous,
and let my last end be like his.

01:21.260 --> 01:24.360
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou
done unto me?

01:24.960 --> 01:29.980
I took thee to curse mine enemies,
and behold, thou hast blessed them

01:29.980 --> 01:30.580
altogether.

01:30.900 --> 01:35.240
And he answered and said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the Lord hath put

01:35.240 --> 01:35.860
in my mouth?

01:36.100 --> 01:40.640
And Balak said unto him, Come,
I pray thee, with me unto another place,

01:40.840 --> 01:42.640
from whence thou mayest see them.

01:43.220 --> 01:47.880
Thou shalt see but the utmost part of
them, and shalt not see them all,

01:48.300 --> 01:50.600
and curse me them from thence.

01:50.600 --> 01:54.800
And he brought him into the field of
Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built

01:54.800 --> 01:58.200
seven altars, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.

01:58.640 --> 02:02.660
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy
burnt offering, while I meet the Lord

02:02.660 --> 02:03.240
yonder.

02:03.500 --> 02:07.940
And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in
his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak,

02:08.520 --> 02:09.420
and say thus.

02:09.800 --> 02:13.020
And when he came to him, behold,
he stood by his burnt offering,

02:13.260 --> 02:14.840
and the princes of Moab with him.

02:15.160 --> 02:17.960
And Balak said unto him, What hath the
Lord spoken?

02:18.300 --> 02:22.000
And he took up his parable, and said,
Rise up, Balak, and hear.

02:22.500 --> 02:24.620
Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.

02:24.980 --> 02:29.660
God is not a man, that he should lie,
neither the son of man, that he should

02:29.660 --> 02:30.120
repent.

02:30.560 --> 02:32.340
Hath he said, and shall he not do it?

02:32.680 --> 02:35.460
Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make
it good?

02:36.200 --> 02:41.140
Behold, I have received commandment to
bless, and he hath blessed, and I cannot

02:41.140 --> 02:41.820
reverse it.

02:42.140 --> 02:46.100
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
neither hath he seen perverseness in

02:46.100 --> 02:46.440
Israel.

02:46.440 --> 02:51.380
The Lord his God is with him, and the
shout of a king is among them.

02:51.960 --> 02:53.480
God brought them out of Egypt.

02:53.860 --> 02:56.620
He hath, as it were, the strength of a
unicorn.

02:57.260 --> 03:01.200
Surely there is no enchantment against
Jacob, neither is there any divination

03:01.200 --> 03:02.040
against Israel.

03:02.500 --> 03:07.200
According to this time, it shall be said
of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God

03:07.200 --> 03:07.680
wrought?

03:08.460 --> 03:14.140
Behold, the people shall rise up as a
great lion, and lift up himself as a young

03:14.140 --> 03:14.520
lion.

03:14.520 --> 03:20.080
He shall not lie down until he eat of the
prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

03:20.880 --> 03:25.200
And Balaam said unto Balaam, Neither curse
them at all, nor bless them at all.

03:25.380 --> 03:30.320
But Balaam answered and said unto Balaam,
Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord

03:30.320 --> 03:32.100
speaketh, that I must do.

03:32.220 --> 03:35.900
And Balaam said unto Balaam, Come,
I pray thee, I will bring thee unto

03:35.900 --> 03:36.660
another place.

03:36.980 --> 03:41.300
Peer adventure, it will please God that
thou mayest curse me them from thence.

03:41.300 --> 03:45.580
And Balaam brought Balaam unto the top of
Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

03:45.840 --> 03:49.960
And Balaam said unto Balaam, Build me here
seven altars, and prepare me here seven

03:49.960 --> 03:51.120
bullocks and seven rams.

03:51.340 --> 03:56.100
And Balaam did as Balaam had said,
and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
