Numbers 22:22-41

22And God’s angerH639 was kindled because he wentH1980; and the angelH4397 of Jehovah placed himself in the wayH1870 for an adversaryH7854 against him. Now he was ridingH7392 upon his ass, and his twoH8147 servantsH5288 were with him. 23And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standingH5324 in the wayH1870, with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and the ass turnedH5186 asideH5186 out of the wayH1870, and went into the fieldH7704: and BalaamH1109 smote the ass, to turnH5186 her into the wayH1870. 24Then the angelH4397 of Jehovah stoodH5975 in a narrow path between the vineyardsH3754, a wallH1447 being on this side, and a wallH1447 on that side. 25And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah, and she thrust herself unto the wallH7023, and crushed Balaam’s footH7272 against the wallH7023: and he smote her again. 26And the angelH4397 of Jehovah went further, and stoodH5975 in a narrow placeH4725, whereH834 was no wayH1870 to turnH5186 either to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the left. 27And the ass sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah, and she layH7257 downH5221 under BalaamH1109: and Balaam’s angerH639 was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staffH4731. 28And Jehovah openedH6605 the mouthH6310 of the ass, and she saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these threeH7969 times? 29And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a swordH2719 in my handH3027, for nowH6258 I had killedH2026 thee. 30And the ass saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast riddenH7392 all thy life long unto this dayH3117? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he saidH559, Nay.

31Then Jehovah opened the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standingH5324 in the wayH1870, with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and he bowedH7812 his head, and fell on his faceH639. 32And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these threeH7969 times? behold, I am comeH3318 forthH3318 for an adversaryH7854, because thy wayH1870 is perverse before me: 33and the ass sawH7200 me, and turnedH5186 asideH5186 before me these threeH7969 times: unless she had turnedH5186 asideH5186 from me, surely nowH6258 I had even slainH2026 thee, and saved her aliveH2421. 34And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of Jehovah, I have sinnedH2398; for I knewH3045 not that thou stoodest in the wayH1870 against me: nowH6258 thereforeH6258, if it displease thee, I will get me backH7725 again. 35And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Go with the menH376; but onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee, that thou shalt speakH1696. So BalaamH1109 went with the princesH8269 of BalakH1111.

36And when BalakH1111 heardH8085 that BalaamH1109 was comeH935, he wentH3318 out to meet him unto the CityH5892 of MoabH4124, which is on the borderH1366 of the ArnonH769, which is in the utmost part of the borderH1366. 37And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Did I not earnestly sendH7971 unto thee to callH7121 thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not ableH3201 indeed to promote thee to honorH3513? 38And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, Lo, I am comeH935 unto thee: have I nowH6258 any power at all to speakH1696 anythingH1697? the wordH1697 that GodH430 putteth in my mouthH6310, that shall I speakH1696. 39And BalaamH1109 wentH935 with BalakH1111, and they cameH935 unto Kiriath-huzoth. 40And BalakH1111 sacrificedH2076 oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and sentH7971 to BalaamH1109, and to the princesH8269 that were with him.

41And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that BalakH1111 tookH3947 BalaamH1109, and broughtH5927 him up into the high places of Baal; and he sawH7200 from thence the utmost part of the peopleH5971.
