Numbers 24:1-5
1When Balaam saw that it 1pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to 2seek 3omens but he set his face toward the 4wilderness. 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel 5camping tribe by tribe; and 6the Spirit of God came upon him. 3He took up his 7discourse and said, “8The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened;4The oracle of him who 9hears the 10words of God, Who sees the 11vision of 12the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,5How fair are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel!
