Numbers 24:4
Compare all
2 And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel aencamped according to their tribes; and bthe Spirit of God came upon him.  
3 aThen he took up his oracle and said:
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened, 
4 The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who afalls down, with eyes wide open: 
5 “How lovely are your tents, O Jacob!
Your dwellings, O Israel!
6 Like valleys that stretch out,
aLike gardens by the riverside,
Like aloes bplanted by the Lord,
Like cedars beside the waters. 
7 He shall pour water from his buckets,
And his seed shall be ain many waters.
“His king shall be higher than bAgag,
And his ckingdom shall be exalted. 
8 “Goda brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall bconsume the nations, his enemies;
He shall cbreak their bones
And dpierce them with his arrows.

Numbers 24:4

The vision - So called properly, because he was awake when this was revealed to him: A trance - Or, extasy, fainting and falling upon the ground, as the prophets used to do.
