CHAPTER xxy-Continued.

Is And he took up his parable,
and said. Balaam the son of Beor
hath said, and the man whose eyes
are open hath said:
16 He hath said. which heard
the words of God. and knew the
knowledge of the Most High. which
saw the vision of the Almighty,
falling into a trance, but having
his eyes open:
II I shall see him. but not now:
] shall behold him, but not nigh
there shall come a Star out of
Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out
of Israel. and shall smite the
corners of Moab. and destroy all
the children of Sheth.
Is And Edom shall be a posses
sion. Seir also shall he a posses.
sion for his enemies; and Israel
shall do valiantly.
ia Out of Jacob shall come he
that shall have dominion. and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the
city.
20 T And when he looked on
Amalek. he took up his parable
and said. Amalek was the first OF
the nations; but his latter end shall
be that he perish forever.
21 And he looked on the
Kenites. and took up his parable
and said. Strong Is thy dwelling
place. and thou puttest thy pest in
a rock.

be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
