Numbers 23:5 in Context — Numbers 23

3 Y Balaam dijo á Balac: Ponte junto á tu holocausto, y yo iré: quizá Jehová me vendrá al encuentro, y cualquiera cosa que me mostrare, te la noticiaré. Y así se fué solo.

4 Y vino Dios al encuentro de Balaam, y [éste] le dijo: Siete altares he ordenado, y en cada altar he ofrecido un becerro y un carnero.

5 Y Jehová puso palabra en la boca de Balaam, y díjole: Vuelve á Balac, y has de hablar así.

6 Y volvió á él, y he aquí estaba él junto á su holocausto, él y todos los príncipes de Moab.

7 Y él tomó su parábola, y dijo: De Aram me trajo Balac, rey de Moab, de los montes del oriente: ven, maldíceme á Jacob; y ven, execra á Israel.
