Chapter 24 And when Balaam saw that it
pleased the LORD to bless Israel,

00:05.500 --> 00:08.460
he went not, as at other times,
to seek for enchantments.

00:08.840 --> 00:10.580
But he set his face toward the wilderness.

00:11.080 --> 00:14.800
And Balaam lifted up his eyes,
and he saw Israel abiding in his tents,

00:14.960 --> 00:16.020
according to their tribes.

00:16.480 --> 00:20.220
And the Spirit of God came upon him,
and he took up his parable, and said,

00:20.480 --> 00:24.640
Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are opened hath

00:24.640 --> 00:29.140
said, he hath said which heard the words
of God, which saw the vision of the

00:29.140 --> 00:32.400
Almighty falling into a trance,
but having his eyes opened.

00:32.900 --> 00:37.460
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,
and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

00:37.940 --> 00:41.980
As the valleys are they spread forth,
as gardens by the river's side,

00:42.300 --> 00:46.860
as the trees of lion aloes which the LORD
hath planted, and as cedar trees beside

00:46.860 --> 00:47.380
the waters.

00:47.920 --> 00:52.540
He shall pour the water out of his
buckets, and his seed shall be in many

00:52.540 --> 00:57.420
waters, and his king shall be higher than
Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

00:57.980 --> 00:59.820
God brought him forth out of Egypt.

01:00.200 --> 01:02.640
He hath, as it were, the strength of an
unicorn.

01:03.040 --> 01:07.860
He shall eat up the nations his enemies,
and shall break their bones, and pierce

01:07.860 --> 01:09.140
them through with his arrows.

01:09.540 --> 01:14.800
He couched, he lay down as a lion,
and as a great lion, who shall stir him

01:14.800 --> 01:15.120
up?

01:15.520 --> 01:20.140
Blessed is he that blesseth thee,
and cursed is he that curseth thee.

01:20.280 --> 01:24.420
And Balak's anger was kindled against
Balaam, and he smote his hands together,

01:24.420 --> 01:29.400
and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee
to curse mine enemies, and, behold,

01:29.500 --> 01:32.200
thou hast altogether blessed them these
three times.

01:32.820 --> 01:34.880
Therefore now flee thou to thy place.

01:35.420 --> 01:40.480
I thought to promote thee unto great
honour, but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee

01:40.480 --> 01:41.400
back from honour.

01:41.840 --> 01:46.820
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not
also to thy messengers, which thou sentest

01:46.820 --> 01:51.140
unto me, saying, If Balak would give me
his house full of silver and gold,

01:51.400 --> 01:56.700
I cannot go beyond the commandment of the
LORD to do either good or bad of mine own

01:56.700 --> 01:57.100
mind.

01:58.200 --> 02:00.700
But what the LORD saith, that will I
speak.

02:01.360 --> 02:04.120
And now, behold, I go unto my people.

02:04.480 --> 02:09.520
Come, therefore, and I will advertise thee
what this people shall do to thy people in

02:09.520 --> 02:10.320
the latter days.

02:10.560 --> 02:15.040
And he took up his parable, and said,
Balaam, the son of Beor, hath said,

02:15.440 --> 02:20.300
And the man whose eyes are open hath said,
He hath said which heard the words of God,

02:20.480 --> 02:24.440
and knew the knowledge of the Most High,
which saw the vision of the Almighty,

02:24.880 --> 02:27.380
falling into a trance, but having his eyes
open.

02:28.060 --> 02:30.200
I shall see him, but not now.

02:30.500 --> 02:32.700
I shall behold him, but not nigh.

02:33.160 --> 02:37.360
There shall come a star out of Jacob,
and a scepter shall rise out of Israel,

02:37.580 --> 02:42.140
and shall smite the corners of Moab,
and destroy all the children of Sheth.

02:43.060 --> 02:45.020
And Edom shall be a possession.

02:45.880 --> 02:50.340
Seir also shall be a possession for his
enemies, and Israel shall do valiantly.

02:50.340 --> 02:55.540
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have
dominion, and shall destroy him that

02:55.540 --> 02:56.740
remaineth of the city.

02:57.120 --> 03:01.400
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up
his parable, and said, Amalek was the

03:01.400 --> 03:05.440
first of the nations, but his latter end
shall be that he perish for ever.

03:05.600 --> 03:09.600
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up
his parable, and said, Strong is thy

03:09.600 --> 03:12.520
dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest
in a rock.

03:13.100 --> 03:18.240
Nevertheless, the Kenites shall be wasted,
until Asher shall carry thee away captive.

03:18.240 --> 03:23.100
And he took up his parable, and said,
Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?

03:23.660 --> 03:27.660
And ships shall come from the coast of
Kittum, and shall afflict Asher,

03:28.000 --> 03:31.480
and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall
perish for ever.

03:31.720 --> 03:36.820
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned
to his place, and Balak also went his way.
