Balaam’s second parable, on the top of Pisgah

비스가 꼭대기에서 지은 발람의 둘째 노래

Numbers 23:13–26: Balak takes Balaam to another place, from which he will see only part of the people: into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he builds seven altars and offers a bull and a ram on each. The LORD meets Balaam and puts a word in his mouth, and he takes up his parable: God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent; Balaam has received a command to bless and cannot reverse it; the LORD has not seen iniquity in Jacob, and is with him; the people rise up as a lioness and a lion. Balak tells him neither to curse them nor to bless them; Balaam answers that he must do all that the LORD speaks.

¹³Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
¹⁴He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
¹⁵He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
¹⁶The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
¹⁷He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”
¹⁸He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
¹⁹God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
²⁰Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
²¹He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.
²²God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
²³Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
²⁴Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
²⁵Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
²⁶But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
