no_o sorcery_n or_o such_o like_a evil_n be_v he_o be_v able_a any_o way_n to_o impeach_v of_o the_o main_a body_n therefore_o of_o the_o israelite_n which_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n be_v at_o present_a encamp_v on_o the_o confine_n of_o moab_n who_o balak_n be_v afraid_a of_o hire_v balaam_n to_o curse_v and_o who_o balaam_n behold_v but_o dare_v not_o curse_v nor_o by_o any_o of_o his_o devilish_a art_n be_v able_a to_o do_v aught_o against_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o balaam_n under_o the_o name_n of_o jacob_n and_o israel_n here_o speak_v the_o three_o question_n be_v concern_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o particle_n beth_fw-mi before_o the_o name_n of_o jacob_n and_o israel_n prefix_v and_o affix_v thereunto_o it_o be_v usual_o indeed_o take_v subjectiuè_fw-la as_o

but_o it_o be_v take_v also_o sometime_o objectiuè_a as_o denote_v the_o object_n or_o matter_n whereabout_o something_o be_v employ_v as_o joseph_n be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o brethren_n envy_n
