Numbers 23:23 is an important verse in the [[Bible]], which reads: "Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!" KJV
It was a prophetic utterance given to [[Balaam]] by God.

The final phrase of the verse, "What hath God wrought" was made famous in the English speaking world when, on May 24, 1844 [[Samuel Morse]] used it as the text of the first [[telegraph]] message ever transmitted.
Numbers 23:23 is the 4,440th (four thousand, four hundred, fortieth) verse in the [[Pentateuch]], or 40 x 111 (the 111th is [[Genesis]] 5:5). According to some Christians who subscribe to the idea that the Bible contains various kinds of subtextual codes, 111 is a key unit in some of these "[[Bible codes]]".
