Numbers 24:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵
How fair are your tents, O Jacob,
And your tabernacles, O Israel!
⁶
“Like valleys that stretch out,
Like gardens beside the river,
Like aloes planted by the Lord,
Like cedars beside the waters.^(A)
⁷
“Water [that is, great blessings] will flow from his buckets,
And his offspring will live by many waters,
And his king will be higher than ^[a]Agag,
And his kingdom shall be exalted.
