Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

Verse 19 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.

Aus Jakob wird der Herrscher kommen und umbringen, was übrig ist von den Städten.
Y el de Jacob se enseñoreará, Y destruirá de la ciudad lo que quedare.
De Jacob saldrá quien gobierne y hará perecer al sobreviviente de la ciudad».
Celui qui sort de Jacob règne en souverain, Il fait périr ceux qui s'échappent des villes.
E uno disceso di Giacobbe, signoreggerà E distruggerà chi sarà scampato della città.
E dominará um de Jacó, e matará os que restam das cidades.
有一位出於 雅各 的,必掌大權, 他要除滅城中的倖存者。」
