耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權
14. And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on every altar.
15. And he said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet Him yonder.”
16. And the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Go again to Balak and say this.”
17. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”
18. And he took up his parable and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear. Listen to me, son of Zippor.
19. God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not fulfill it?
20. Behold, I have received word to bless. And He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
21. He has not seen iniquity in Jacob, neither has He seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a King among them.
22. God brought them out of Egypt. He has, as it were, the strength of an ox.
23. Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What God has worked!’
24. Behold, the people shall rise up like a great lion, and lift up himself like a young lion. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25. And Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all.”
26. But Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did I not tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
27. And Balak said to Balaam, “Please, come. I will bring you into another place. Perhaps it will please God that you will curse them for me from there.
28. And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor that looks toward Jeshimon.
29. And Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams here for me.”
30. And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on every altar.
14. 於是巴勒領巴蘭，到處於瑣腓平原地帶的毗斯迦山，在那裡築了七壇，每座壇上獻一頭公牛和一隻公羊。
15. 巴蘭隨後對巴勒說：我去會面時，且站在獻燔祭壇旁。
16. 耶和華與巴蘭會面，讓巴蘭去傳話：見到巴勒，對他說…。
17. 巴蘭回去見巴勒，見他在祭壇旁，連同摩押眾領袖一起。巴勒發問：耶和華有什麼說話？
18. 巴蘭便以比喻回應：巴勒，西撥的兒子，要知道，
19. 我認識那位，祂並非人類那樣會說謊話。不會說了，不算數。一旦應允承諾，必會落執行。
20. 我從祂那裡領受的是祝福。祂既賜福，我就無法逆轉。
21. 祂認為雅各不曾犯過錯，在以色列中也未見過有不軌的行為。耶和華是他們一直相信，並高呼祂為王。
22. 是這位作們相信的，帶領他們離開埃及，祂能力浩大。
23. 事實上，雅各沒有做出有違聖潔的事，以色列人也沒有作出不當的事。直到如今，雅各和他的後代都是照他們所相信的而行。
24. 這些民眾有如雄獅，現在則像幼獅般昂首而行，是不會屈服，直至把獵物置之死地，才會罷休。
25. 巴勒對巴蘭說：你既不咒詛，可否也不去祝福。
26. 巴蘭回答巴勒：我老早就讓你曉得，我是照耶和華所說的回覆。
27. 巴勒對巴蘭說：請跟我來，帶你去另一處，到時，也許會樂意去咒詛他們。
28. 巴勒領巴蘭到了毗珥山頂，直望就是耶示門。
29. 巴蘭對巴勒說：在這裡築七座壇，並預備七頭公牛和七隻公綿羊。
30. 巴勒就照巴蘭吩咐，在每座壇上各獻上一頭公牛和一隻公綿羊。
這段描述巴蘭要求，求告耶和華時要築七壇。這個舉動是出於什麼綻因，來由從何來，似乎沒有被探討過。按照創、出、利、民數記到這段為止，求告耶和華或耶和華與人溝通，從來不用築壇。有築壇都是因為恩感而造，作為記念。尤期是用七座這個觀念，是從未有過。這個 [七]從何而來？
這個 [七] 按歷史考證，它不是出於以色列，是在這段描述而來。
這個現象是因為巴蘭與巴勒，因求告耶和華而起。巴蘭和巴勒同是亞伯拉罕之後，就像穆罕默德，同是亞伯拉罕之後。他們有神觀卻不是耶和華。
這個 [七] 是外來信仰的產物，考證的資料如下：
The sum of the spiritual 3 and the material 4 is 7. In medieval education, students pursued the trivium (grammar, rhetoric, and logic) and the quadrivium (music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy), a total of seven subjects, collectively known as the liberal arts. Pythagorean interest in the mathematical patterns in music gives 7 a privileged role, for there are seven distinct notes in the musical scale—corresponding roughly to the white notes on a piano. Counting from 1, the eighth note up the scale is the exceedingly harmonious octave, which is how the name arose.
The number 7 is often considered lucky, and it has a definite mystique, perhaps because it is a prime number—that is, it cannot be obtained by multiplying two smaller numbers together. There are seven days of the week, named after various ancient gods and planets (Sun-day, Moon-day, Tiw’s-day, Woden’s-day, Thor’s-day, Frigg’s-day, Saturn-day). Tiw was a Norse god of war, parallel to28 Mars in role but to Zeus in etymology, and Frigg was the Old English version of Frea (or Freya), wife of Woden (= Odin)… 。
在28節的耶示門：
https://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Jeshimon.html
It’s not clear whether Jeshimon is used as a proper name in the Bible, or that it is a regular noun, but it’s used for either a general wilderness or a specific one, comparable to the Negev and the Arabah. Our word or name is spelled as ישימן and is preceded by the definite article ה (he) in Numbers 21:20, 23:28, 1 Samuel 26:1 and 26:3 and comes without it in Isaiah 43:20 and is spelled ישמון in Isaiah 43:19.
The term primarily references two distinct locations:
- The Jordan Valley Wasteland: A barren, salty area east of the Dead Sea, visible from the heights of Mount Pisgah and Mount Peor (Numbers 21:20; 23:28).
The Judean Desert: A sterile, chalky plateau in the Wilderness of Judah southeast of Hebron. This region served as a strategic refuge for David while fleeing King Saul, specifically noted near the Hill of Hachilah and the Wilderness of Maon .
