The Star out of Jacob

Numbers 24:15-19

24
Chapter 24
15 And he lifted up his oracle and said: Utterance of Balaam son of Beor, and utterance of the man who is shut the eye. 16 Declaration of the hearer of the sayings of God and knower of the knowledge of the Most High, vision of the LORD who sees, fallen and with eyes uncovered. 17 I see it, not now; I observe it, not near—a star goes forth from Jacob, and a scepter rises from Israel; it crushes the borders of Moab, and it shatters all the sons of Sheth. 18 And Edom will be possessed, and Seir will be possessed—his enemies—and Israel will do might. 19 He went down from Jacob, and he destroyed a survivor from a city.
