Numbers 22:2-6

2And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 sawH7200 all that IsraelH3478 had done to the AmoritesH567.

3And MoabH4124 was muchH7227 afraidH1481 of the peopleH5971, because they were manyH7227; and MoabH4124 was distressed because of the children of IsraelH3478.

4And MoabH4124 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, NowH6258 will this companyH6951 lickH3897 up all that is roundH5439 about us, as an oxH7794 licksH3897 up the green herb of the fieldH7704. NowH6258 BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256.

5And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, to Pethor, which is on the riverH5104 in the landH776 of the children of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, Behold, a peopleH5971 is comeH3318 out from EgyptH4714; behold, they coverH3680 the face of the landH776, and they abide over against me.

6And nowH6258 come, I pray thee, curseH779 me this peopleH5971; for they are mightierH6099 than I: perhapsH194 I may be ableH3201 to smite them, and driveH1644 them out of the landH776; for I knowH3045 that he whom thou blessest is blessedH1288, and he whom thou cursest is cursedH779.
