Numbers 22:15-22

15Then BalakH1111 sentH7971 otherH3254 princesH8269H5750, more numerousH7227 and more distinguishedH3513 than theH428 first messengers. 16They cameH935 toH413 BalaamH1109 and saidH559, “This is whatH3541 BalakH1111 sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 saysH559: ‘PleaseH4994 let nothingH408 hinderH4513 you from comingH1980 to meH413, 17forH3588 I will honor youH3513 richlyH3966H3513 and doH6213 whateverH3605 you sayH559H413. So pleaseH4994 comeH1980 and put a curseH6895 on thisH2088 people for meH5971!’”

18But BalaamH1109H559 repliedH6030 toH413 the servantsH5650 of BalakH1111, “IfH518 BalakH1111 were to giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I couldH3201 notH3808 doH6213 anything smallH6996 orH176 greatH1419 to go beyondH5674 the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430. 19So nowH6258, pleaseH4994 stayH3427 hereH2088 overnightH3915 as the others didH1571H859, that I may find outH3045 whatH4100 elseH3254 the LORDH3068 has to tell meH1696H5973.”

20That nightH3915 GodH430 cameH935 toH413 BalaamH1109 and saidH559, “SinceH518 these menH582 have comeH935 to summonH7121 you, get upH6965 and goH1980 with themH854, but you must onlyH389 doH6213 whatH834 I tell youH1696H413.” 21So in the morningH1242 BalaamH1109 got upH6965, saddledH2280 his donkeyH860, and wentH1980 withH5973 the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.

22Then God’sH430 angerH639 was kindledH2734 becauseH3588 BalaamH1931 was going alongH1980, and the angelH43971 of the LORDH3068 stoodH3320 in the roadH1870 to opposeH7854 him. BalaamH1931 was ridingH7392H5921 his donkeyH860, and his twoH8147 servantsH5288 were with himH5973.
