- Balaam:
- "He sentª° messengersª therefore unto¹ Balaamª the sonª of Beorª to Pethor,ª which¹ [is] by¹ the riverª of the landª of the childrenª of his people,ª to callª° him, saying,ª° Behold,¹ there is a peopleª come outª° from Egypt:ª¹ behold,¹ they coverª°¹ the faceª of the earth,ª and they¹ abideª° over againstª¹ me: ... And the eldersª of Moabª and the eldersª of Midianª departed²°¹ with the rewards of divinationª in their hand;ª and they cameª° unto¹ Balaam,ª and spakeª° unto¹ him the wordsª of Balak.ª" {Num 22:5-7} + "And when Balaamª sawª° that¹ it pleasedªª° the LORDª to blessª°¹ Israel,ª he wentª° not,¹ as at other times,ª to seekª° for enchantments,ª but he setª° his faceª toward¹ the wilderness.ª" {Num 24:1} + "And they slewª° the kingsª of Midian,ª besideª the rest of them that were slain;ª [namely],¹ Evi,ª and Rekem,ª and Zur,ª and Hur,ª and Reba,ª fiveª kingsª of Midian:ª Balaamª also the sonª of Beorª they slewª° with the sword.ª" {Num 31:8} + "Which have forsakenª° the¹ rightª way,ª and are gone astray,ª° followingª° the¹ wayª of Balaamª [the son] of Bosor,ª whoª lovedª° the wagesª of unrighteousness;ª" {2Pe 2:15} + "Woeª unto them!ª forª they have goneª° in the¹ wayª of Cain,ª andª ran greedily afterª° the¹ errorª of Balaamª for reward,ª andª perishedª° in the¹ gainsayingª of Core.ª" {Jde 1:11} + "Butª I haveª° a few thingsª againstª thee,ª becauseª thou hastª° thereª them that holdª° the¹ doctrineª of Balaam,ª whoª taughtª²° Balacª to castª° a stumblingblockª beforeª the¹ childrenª of Israel,ª to eatª° things sacrificed unto idols,ª andª to commit fornication.ª°" {Rev 2:14} + "Andª the¹ beastª was taken,ª° andª withª himª the¹ false prophetª that wroughtª° miraclesª beforeª him,ª withª whichª he deceivedª° them that had receivedª° the¹ markª of the¹ beast,ª andª them that worshippedª° his²¹ image.ª These bothª were castª° aliveª° intoª a lakeª of fireª burningª° withª brimstone.ª" {Rev 19:20}
