Numbers 22:6-11

6So pleaseH4994 comeH1980 nowH6258 and put a curseH779 on thisH2088 peopleH5971, becauseH3588 theyH1931 are too mightyH6099 for meH4480. Perhaps I mayH194 be ableH3201 to defeatH5221 them and drive them outH1644 ofH4480 the landH776; forH3588 I knowH3045 that thoseH834 you blessH1288 are blessedH1288, and thoseH834 you curseH779 are cursedH779.”

7The eldersH2205 of MoabH4124H2205 and MidianH4080 departedH1980 with the fees for divinationH7081 in handH3027. They cameH935 toH413 BalaamH1109 and relayedH1696 to himH413 the wordsH1697 of BalakH1111.

8“SpendH3885 the nightH3915 hereH6311,” Balaam repliedH559H413, “and I will giveH7725 you the answerH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 speaksH1696 to meH413.” So the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 stayedH3427 withH5973 BalaamH1109.

9Then GodH430 cameH935 toH413 BalaamH1109 and askedH559, “WhoH4310 are theseH428 menH582 with youH5973?”

10And BalaamH1109 saidH559 toH413 GodH430, “BalakH1111 sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, sent meH7971 this messageH413: 11‘BeholdH2009, a peopleH5971 has come outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the landH776. NowH6258 comeH1980 and put a curseH6895 on themH853 for me. Perhaps I mayH194 be ableH3201 to fightH3898 against them and drive them awayH1644.’”
