Numbers 24:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,
    your encampments, O Israel!
⁶Like palm groves^[a] that stretch afar,
    like gardens beside a river,
^(A)like aloes ^(B)that the Lord has planted,
    like cedar trees beside the waters.
⁷Water shall flow from his buckets,
    and his seed shall be ^(C)in many waters;
his king shall be higher than ^(D)Agag,
    and ^(E)his kingdom shall be exalted.
