In context
3And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, The man who sees truly says,
4He says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, Who saw a vision of God in sleep; His eyes were opened:
— Numbers 24:5 —
6As shady groves, And as gardens by a river, And as tents which God pitched, And as cedars by the waters.
7There shall come a man out of his seed, And he shall rule over many nations; And the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, And his kingdom shall be increased.
