“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who afalls down, with eyes wide open:
aLike gardens by the riverside,
Like aloes bplanted by the Lord,
Like cedars beside the waters.
And his seed shall be ain many waters.
“His king shall be higher than bAgag,
And his ckingdom shall be exalted.
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.
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
b“Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.”
Numbers
NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
