10 Who can count the dust of Ya'akov, and the number of the fourth part of Yisroel? Let my nefesh die the death of the yesharim (righteous ones), and let my latter end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I brought thee to curse mine enemies, and, hinei, thou hast altogether put a berakhah on them.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Hashem hath put in my mouth?
13 And Balak said unto him, Come with me unto another place, from where thou mayest see them; thou shalt see part but not all of them, and curse them for me from there.
14 And he brought him into the sadeh of Tzophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built shivah mizbechot, and offered a bull and a ram on each mizbe'ach.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy olah, while I meet Hashem over there.
16 And Hashem met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
