Numbers 22:5-7

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.
