1When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he didn`t go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3He took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, The man whose eye was closed says;
4He says, who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, Your tents, Israel!
6As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Yahweh has planted, As cedar-trees beside the waters.
7Water shall flow from his buckets, His seed shall be in many waters, His king shall be higher than Agag, His kingdom shall be exalted.
