Numbers 22:15-22

15Then sentH7971 BalakH1111 yetH5750 againH5750 princesH8269, more, and more honourable than they.

16And they cameH935 to BalaamH1109, and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saysH559 BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrainedH4513 from comingH935 to me;

17for veryH3966 highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou shalt sayH559 to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curseH6895 me this peopleH5971.

18And BalaamH1109 answered and saidH559 to the servantsH5650 of BalakH1111, If BalakH1111 giveH5414 me his houseH1004 full of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my 1GodH430, to do less or more.

19And nowH6258, I pray you, abide ye alsoH1571 hereH2088 this nightH3915, and I shall knowH3045 what Jehovah will sayH1696 to me further.

20Then 2GodH430 cameH935 to BalaamH1109 at nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, If the menH376 have comeH935 to callH7121 thee, riseH6965 up, [and] goH935 with them; but onlyH389 what I shall sayH559 unto thee shalt thou do.

21And BalaamH1109 roseH6965 up in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his ass, and went with the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.

22And 3God's angerH639 was kindled because he wentH1980; and the AngelH4397 of Jehovah set himself in the wayH1870 to withstand him. Now he was ridingH7392 upon his ass, and his twoH8147 youngH5288 menH5288 were with him.
