24

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.

And Balak"s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river"s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.

And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

And the Israelitish woman"s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother"s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

And it shall be Aaron"s and his sons"; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.

Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
