Numbers 22:3-14

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.

7And the eldersH2205 of MoabH4124 and the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080 departed, having the rewards of divinationH7081 in their handH3027. And they cameH935 to BalaamH1109, and spokeH1696 to him the wordsH1697 of BalakH1111.

8And he saidH559 to them, Lodge hereH6311 this nightH3915, and I will bringH7725 you wordH1697 again, according as Jehovah shall speakH1696 unto me. And the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 abode with BalaamH1109.

9And 1GodH430 cameH935 to BalaamH1109, and saidH559, Who are these menH376 with thee?

10And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to 2GodH430, BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, hath sentH7971 unto me,

11Behold, a peopleH5971 is comeH3318 out of EgyptH4714, and it coversH3680 the face of the landH776. NowH6258 comeH3318, curseH6895 me them: perhapsH194 I may be ableH3201 to fightH3898 against them, and driveH1644 them out.

12And 3GodH430 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curseH779 the peopleH5971; for they are blessedH1288.

13And BalaamH1109 roseH6965 up in the morningH1242, and saidH559 to the princesH8269 of BalakH1111, GoH1980 into your landH776; for Jehovah refusesH3985 to giveH5414 me leave to goH1980 with you.

14And the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 roseH6965 up; and they wentH1980 to BalakH1111, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 has refusedH3985 to comeH935 with us.
