Numbers 24:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God
and has knowledge from the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls into a trance with his eyes uncovered:(A)
17 I see him,[a] but not now;
I perceive him,[b] but not near.
A star will come from Jacob,
and a scepter will arise from Israel.(B)
He will smash the forehead[c] of Moab
and strike down[d] all the Shethites.[e]
18 Edom will become a possession;
Seir(C) will become a possession of its enemies,
but Israel will be triumphant.
