Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 24 of Numbers. Balak becomes furious upon hearing the blessings and dismisses Balaam, but before leaving the prophet pronounces additional oracles concerning Israel and its future enemies. A future figure associated with Jacob appears who will rule over various peoples. The section broadens the horizon of the oracles: Israel’s blessing is not limited to the immediate moment, but extends toward later conflicts and developments.

Und nun hebe dich an deinen Ort! Ich gedachte, ich wollte dich ehren; aber der HERR hat dir die Ehre verwehrt.
Húyete, por tanto, ahora a tu lugar: yo dije que te honraría, mas he aquí que Jehová te ha privado de honra.
Fuis maintenant, va-t'en chez toi! J'avais dit que je te rendrais des honneurs, mais l'Eternel t'empêche de les recevoir.
Ora dunque, fuggitene al tuo luogo; io avea detto che ti farei grande onore; ma ecco, il Signore ti ha divietato d’essere onorato.
Agora, pois, foge para o teu lugar; eu tinha dito que te honraria grandemente; mas eis que o SENHOR te privou desta honra.
如今你趕快回本地去吧!我想使你大得尊榮,看哪,耶和華卻阻止你得尊榮。」
