Numbers 23:9

Numbers 23:9 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

9From the rocky peaks I see them,

from the heights I view them.

I see a people who live apart

and do not consider themselves one of the nations.

9“For I see him from the top of the rocks,

And I look at him from the hills;

Behold, a people that lives in isolation,

And does not consider itself to be among the nations.

9As I see him from the top of the rocks,

And I look at him from the hills;

Behold, a people who dwells apart,

And will not be reckoned among the nations.

9“For from the top of the rocks I see Israel,

And from the hills I look at him.

Behold, the people [of Israel] shall dwell alone

And will not be reckoned among the nations.

9For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs,

and I watch them from the hills.

Behold, a people dwelling apart,

not reckoning themselves among the nations.

9I see them from the rocky peaks.

I view them from the hills.

I see a group of people who live by themselves.

They don’t consider themselves to be one of the nations.
