New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Numbers 23
²⁸ So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor which overlooks the wasteland.
²⁹ Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."
³⁰ Balak did just as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.
Numbers 24
¹ When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.
² And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
³ He took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened;
⁴ The oracle of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,
⁵ How fair are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel!
⁶ "Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside the river, Like aloes planted by the Lord, Like cedars beside the waters.
⁷ "Water will flow from his buckets, And his seed will be by many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted.
⁸ "God brings him out of Egypt, He is for him like the horns of the wild ox. He will devour the nations who are his adversaries, And will crush their bones in pieces, And shatter them with his arrows.
