WMBB (Same as above)

NETthe oracle of the one who hears the words of God,
 ⇔ who sees a vision from the Almighty,
 ⇔ although falling flat on the ground with eyes open:

LSVAn affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God,
Who sees a vision of the Almighty,
Falling—and eyes uncovered:

FBV“This is the prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor, the prophecy of a man who sees with eyes are wide open,[fn] the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees the vision given by Almighty, who bows down in respect with open eyes.


24:4 “Wide open”: the word only occurs here and in verse 15. It is variously translated as “closed” or “open,” however the meaning is essentially clear in that Balaam is referring to prophetic insight. The Latin Vulgate has “eyes that are blocked” while the Greek Septuagint has “who truly sees.”

T4TI hear this message from God;
 ⇔ I see a vision from him who is all-powerful.
 ⇔ My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.

LEB• [fn] who sees the revelation of Shaddai,[fn] •  falling down but whose eyes are uncovered.
