Numbers 24:1-5

1Since Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go to seek omens as on previous occasions, but turned toward the wilderness.

2When Balaam looked up and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him,

3and he proclaimed his poem: The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eyes are opened,

4the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls into a trance with his eyes uncovered:

5How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwellings, Israel.
