# He crouches down like a lion, like a lioness

Balaam compares the Israelites to both male and female lions. This means they are dangerous and always ready to attack.

# Who dares disturb him?

"No one dares to disturb him!" 

# May everyone who blesses him be blessed; may everyone who curses him be cursed

"May God bless those who bless the Israelites; may he curse those who curse the Israelites"
