1Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams."
“and balam said unto balak build me here seven altars. And prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.”
“Then Balaam said to Balak, Balaam said, build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
“And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars and prepare me seven oxen and seven rams.”
2So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
“And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken and Balaak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”
“Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.”
“And balak did as balam had spoken and balak and balam offered on every altar a buluk and a ram.”
3"Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone," Balaam said to Balak. "Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you." So Balaam went off to a barren height,
“Then Balaam said to Balaak, stand by your burnt offering and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me and whatever he shows me, I will tell you. So he went to a desolate height”
“Then Balaam said to Balak, Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come to me, and whatever He shows me, I will tell you. So he went to a bare hill.”
“And balam said unto balak stand by the burnt offering and I will go peradventure. The lord will come to meet me and whatsoever. He showeth me. I will tell thee. And he went to a high place”
4and God met with him. "I have set up seven altars," Balaam said, "and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram."
“and god met balam. And he said unto him I have prepared seven altars and I have offered upon every altar a burnt buluk and a ram.”
5Then the LORD put a message in Balaam's mouth, saying, "Return to Balak and give him this message."
“then the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, return to Balak, and thus you shall speak”
“And the lord put a word in balam's mouth and he returned unto balak and Thus thou shalt speak”
“Then the Lord put a word of Baal in his mouth and said, Return to Balak, and you shall speak thus.”
6So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
“And he returned unto him, and lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the princes of Moab.”
“So he returned to him and there he was, standing by his burnt offering and he and all the princes of Moab.”
“So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.”
7And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: "Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. 'Come,' he said, 'put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!'
“And he took up his parable and said, Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me, Jacob, and come, defy Israel.”
“And he took up his parable and said, Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Amram out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me, Jacob, and come, defy Israel.”
“and he took his parable and said, Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram out of the mountains of the east, saying, come, curse me, Jacob, and come defy Israel.”
“took up this parable and he said, Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram out of the mountains of the east saying, come, curse me, Jacob, and come, defy Israel.”
“he took up his parable and said, Belak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me, Jacob, and come, defy Israel.”
“he took up his parable and said Balak the king of moab hath brought me from aram out of the mountains of the east saying come curse me jacob. Come defy israel.”
8How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
“How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied?”
“how shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?”
“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?”
“how shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied?”
“How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied?”
“How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? How shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied?”
9For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.
“For from the top of the rocks I see Him, and from the hills I behold Him, and lo, the people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.”
“For from the tops of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him. Lo, the people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.”

10Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!"

11Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!"
“then King Balak said to Balaam, what have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies and look, you have blessed them bountifully.”
“And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold thou has blessed them all together.”
“Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them.”
“And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast blessed them altogether.”
“Balak said, 11th verse, unto Balaam, what hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them all together.”
12But Balaam replied, "Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?"
“so he answered and said, must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”
“So he answered and said, must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”
“And he answered and said, must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth?”
“And he answered and said must I not take heed to speak that which the lord hath put in my mouth.”
13Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me."
“Then Balak said to him, please come with me to another place from which you may see them. You shall see only the outer part of them. You shall not see them all and curse them for me from there.”
“Then Balak said to him, Please, come with me to another place, from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them, and will not see all of them, and curse them for me from there.”
“And balak said unto him come I pray thee with me and to another place from whence thou mayest see them. Thou shalt see the utmost part of them and thou shalt not see them all and curse me then from thence.”
14So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
“And he brought him into the field of zofim to the top of pisgah. And built seven altars and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar”
“so he took him to the field of Zophim to the top of Pisgah. And he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar”

“and he brought him unto the field of Zophim, unto the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered seven bullocks and a ram on every altar.”
15Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there."
“and he said unto balak stand here by the burnt offering. While I meet the lord yonder.”
16And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, "Return to Balak and speak what I tell you."
“And the lord met balam and put a word in his mouth and said go again unto balak and say thus.”
“Then the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and he said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
17So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. "What did the LORD say?" Balak asked.
“And when he came to him behold he stood by his burnt offering and the princes of moab with him. And balak said unto him what hath the lord spoken”
“he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord spoken?”
18Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: "Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
“And he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear. Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.”
“Then he took up his discourse and said, Arise, O Balak, and hear. Give ear to me, O son of Zipporah.”

“he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear, hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.”

19God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
“God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Hath he said and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?”
“God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

“And balak said unto balaam neither curse them at all nor bless them at all.”
“Then Balak said to Balaam, Do not curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26But Balaam replied, "Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?"
“But balaam answered and said unto balak told not I thee saying that that all that the lord speaketh that I must do.”
“But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you, whatever the Lord speaks, that I must do?”

“and balak did as balam had said and he offered a bullock and a ram in every altar.”
