Numbers 22:3-11

31So MoabH4124 was in greatH3966 fearH1481 becauseH4480H6440 of the peopleH5971, for they were numerousH7227; and MoabH4124 was in dreadH6973 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4MoabH4124 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of 2MidianH4080, “NowH6258 this 3hordeH6951 will lickH3897 up allH3605 that is aroundH5439 us, as the oxH7794 licksH3897 up the grassH3418 of the fieldH7704.” And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of MoabH4124 at that timeH6256. 5So he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 4BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, at 5PethorH6604, whichH834 is nearH5921 the 6RiverH5104, in the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, a peopleH5971 cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714; beholdH2009, they coverH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the landH776, and they are livingH3427 oppositeH4480H4136 me. 67NowH6258, therefore, pleaseH4994 comeH1980, 8curseH779 thisH2088 peopleH5971 for me sinceH3588 they are tooH4480 9mightyH6099 for me; perhapsH194 I may be ableH3201 to 10defeatH5221 them and driveH1644 them out of the landH776. For I knowH3045 that he whomH834 you blessH1288 is blessedH1288, and he whomH834 you curseH779 is cursedH779.”

7So the eldersH2205 of MoabH4124 and the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080 departedH1980 with the fees for 11divinationH7081 in their handH3027; and they cameH935 to BalaamH1109 and 12repeatedH1696 Balak’sH1111 wordsH1697 to him. 8He saidH559 to them, “SpendH3885 the nightH3915 hereH6311, and I will bringH7725 wordH1697 backH7725 to you as the LordH3068 may speakH1696 to me.” And the leadersH8269 of MoabH4124 stayedH3427 with BalaamH1109. 9Then 13GodH430 cameH935 to BalaamH1109 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 are theseH428 menH376 with you?” 10BalaamH1109 saidH559 to GodH430, “BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, has sentH7971 word to me, 11‘BeholdH2009, there is a peopleH5971 who cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714 and they coverH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the landH776; nowH6258 comeH1980, curseH6895 them for me; perhapsH194 I may be ableH3201 to fightH3898 against them and driveH1644 them out.’”
