- the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
- "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth.
- Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong.
- A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city."
- Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: "Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last."

- The oracle of him who hears the words of God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.
- "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.
- "Edom shall be a possession, Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession, While Israel performs valiantly.
- "One from Jacob shall have dominion, And will destroy the remnant from the city."
- And he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his end shall be destruction."
