Numbers 23:20-24
20Behold, I received a command to bless:ahe has blessed, and bI cannot revoke it.
21 cHe has not beheld misfortune in Jacob,
nor has he seen trouble in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them,
and the shout of a king is among them.
22 dGod brings them out of Egypt
and is for them like ethe horns of the wild ox.
23For there is no enchantment against Jacob,
no fdivination against Israel;
now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel,
g‘What has God wrought!’
24Behold, a people! hAs a lioness it rises up
and as a lion it lifts itself;
iit does not lie down until it has devoured the prey
and drunk the blood of the slain.”
Numbers 24:5
5How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,your encampments, O Israel!

So these stones shall be to the people of Israel ka memorial forever.”8And the people of Israel did just as Joshua commanded and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, just as the Lord told Joshua. And they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged and laid them down ▼
