9From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.
10Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!
11Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.
12And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?
13And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.
14So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
15Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.
