Then Balaam said to Balak , “ Build seven altars here , and prepare ... seven bulls and seven rams. ”
| LXX |
So Balak did as Balaam had instructed , and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
| LXX |
“ Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone , ” Balaam said to Balak. “ Perhaps ... the LORD will meet with me. ... And whatever He reveals to me , I will tell So (Balaam) went off to a barren height ,
| LXX |
and God met with him. “ I have set up seven altars , ” Balaam said - - , “ and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram. ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth , saying , “ Return to Balak and give him this message. ”
| LXX |
So he returned to Balak , who was standing there beside his burnt offering , with all the princes of Moab.
| LXX |
And Balaam lifted up an oracle , saying : “ Balak brought me from Aram , the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘ Come,’ he said , ‘ put a curse on Jacob come (and) denounce Israel ! ’
| LXX |
How can I curse (what) God has not cursed ? How can I denounce (what) the LORD has not denounced ?
| LXX |
For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs , and I watch them from the hills. Behold , a people dwelling apart , not reckoning themselves among the nations.
| LXX |
Who can count the dust of Jacob or number - (even) a fourth of Israel ? Let me die the death of the righteous ; let my end be like theirs ! ”
| LXX |
Then Balak said to Balaam , “ What have you done I brought you (here) to curse my enemies , and behold , you have only blessed them ! ”
| LXX |
But (Balaam) replied , ... “ Should I not - speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth - - ? ”
| LXX |
Then Balak said to him , “ Please come ... with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp — not - all of them. And from there , curse them
| LXX |
So Balak took him to the field of Zophim , to the top of Pisgah , where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
| LXX |
Balaam said to Balak , “ Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet (the LORD) over there. ”
| LXX |
And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth , saying , “ Return to Balak and speak what I tell you. ”
| LXX |
So he returned to Balak , who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “ What did the LORD say ? ” Balak asked
| LXX |
Then Balaam lifted up an oracle , saying : “ Arise , O Balak , and listen ; give ear to me , O son of Zippor.
| LXX |
God is not a man , that He should lie , or a son of man , that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act ? Does He promise and not fulfill ?
| LXX |
I have indeed received a command to bless ; He has blessed , and I cannot change it.
| LXX |
He considers no disaster for Jacob ; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them , and the shout of the King
| LXX |
God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox
| LXX |
For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel , ‘ What great things God has done ! ’
| LXX |
Behold , the people rise like a lioness ; they rouse themselves like a lion , not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain. ”
| LXX |
Now Balak said to Balaam , “ Then neither curse them at all ... nor bless them at all ! ”
| LXX |
But Balaam ... ... replied - , “ Did I not tell you that ... ... whatever - the LORD - says , I must do ? ”
| LXX |
“ Please come , ” said Balak - - , “ I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please ... God that you curse them from there. ”
| LXX |
And Balak - took Balaam to the top of Peor , which overlooks ... ... the wasteland.
| LXX |
Then Balaam ... said - , “ Build seven altars here , and prepare ... seven bulls and seven rams. ”
| LXX |
So Balak did as Balaam had instructed , and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
