Numbers 24:8

The first two lines are identical (with the exception of -him" for -them") with Numbers 23:22 (E); and in both traditions the words follow a reference to Israel's king, and precede the metaphor of the lion and lioness.

And smitethem through with his arrows lit. -and (as for) his arrows he shall smite." -His arrows" (חִצָּיו) should perhaps be either -his oppressors" (להֲצָיו) or -his loins" (חֲלָצָיו). For the latter cf. Deuteronomy 33:11.
