Verse 21 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 da er die Keniter sah, hob er an seinen Spruch und sprach: Fest ist deine Wohnung, und hast dein Nest in einen Felsen gelegt.
Y viendo al Cineo, tomó su parábola, y dijo: Fuerte es tu habitación, Pon en la peña tu nido:
Vio al ceneo, pronunció su oráculo y dijo: «Firme es tu morada, y has puesto tu nido en la roca;
Balaam vit les Kéniens. Il prononça son oracle, et dit: Ta demeure est solide, Et ton nid posé sur le roc.
Poi riguardò il Cheneo, e prese a proferir la sua sentenza, e disse: La tua stanza è forte, E tu hai posto il tuo nido nella rupe.
E vendo os quenitas, proferiu a sua parábola, e disse: Firme está a tua habitação, e puseste o teu ninho na penha.
