Numbers 24:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 How attractive and considerable are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as [rare spice] of lignaloes which the Lord has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.(A)
7 [Israel] shall pour water out of his own buckets [have his own sources of rich blessing and plenty], and his offspring shall dwell by many waters, and his king shall be higher than [a]Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
