Numbers 22:4-7

4And MoabH4124 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, NowH6258 will this multitude lickH3897 up all that is roundH5439 about us, as the oxH7794 licketh up the grass of the fieldH7704. And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256. 5And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, to Pethor, which is by the RiverH5104, to the landH776 of the children of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, Behold, there is a peopleH5971 comeH3318 out from EgyptH4714: behold, they coverH3680 the face of the earthH776, and they abide over against me. 6Come nowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray thee, curseH779 me this peopleH5971; for they are too mightyH6099 for me: peradventure I shall prevailH3201, that we may smite them, and that I may driveH1644 them out of the landH776; for I knowH3045 that he whom thou blessest is blessedH1288, and he whom thou cursest is cursedH779.

7And the eldersH2205 of MoabH4124 and the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080 departed with the rewards of divinationH7081 in their handH3027; and they cameH935 unto BalaamH1109, and spake unto him the wordsH1697 of BalakH1111.
