Numbers 22:15-22

15Then sent Balak yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.

16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me;

17for very highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou shalt say to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

18And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my 1God, to do less or more.

19And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, and I shall know what Jehovah will say to me further.

20Then 2God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do.

21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

22And 3God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him.
