(Beforetime {H6440} in Israel {H3478}, when a man {H376} went {H3212} to enquire {H1875} of God {H430}, thus he spake {H559}, Come {H3212}, and let us go {H3212} to the seer {H7200}: for he that is now {H3117} called a Prophet {H5030} was beforetime {H6440} called {H7121} a Seer {H7200}.)

(In Isra'el, back in the old days, when someone went to consult God, he would say, "Come, let's go to the seer"; because a person now called a prophet used to be called a seer.)

(Formerly in Israel, a man on his way to inquire of God would say, “Come, let us go to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called the seer.)

(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
