Numbers 22:15-22

15Balak sent officials again who were more numerous and higher in rank than the others.

16They came to Balaam and said to him, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Let nothing keep you from coming to me,

17for I will greatly honor you and do whatever you ask me. So please come and put a curse on these people for me! ’”

18But Balaam responded to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go against the command of the Lord my God to do anything small or great.

19Please stay here overnight as the others did, so that I may find out what else the Lord has to tell me.”

20God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them, but you must only do what I tell you.”

21When he got up in the morning, Balaam saddled his donkey and went with the officials of Moab.

22But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the angel of the Lord took his stand on the path to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
