Numbers 22:7-21

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.

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 4GodH430, 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 5GodH430 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.
