Numbers 22:9-12

9Then God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?”

10Balaam replied to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent this message to me:

11‘Look, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the surface of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. I may be able to fight against them and drive them away.’”

12Then God said to Balaam, “You are not to go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”
