Numbers 22:30-41

30But the donkeyH860 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “Am I not your donkeyH860 on whichH834 you have riddenH7392 allH4480H5750 your lifeH5750 to thisH2088 dayH3117? Have I everH5532 beenH5532 inH5532 theH5532 habitH5532 ofH5532 doingH6213 suchH3541 aH3541 thingH3541 to you?” And he saidH559, “NoH3808.”

31Then the LordH3068 openedH1540 Balaam’sH1109 eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 1the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870 with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027; and he bowedH6915 2all the wayH1870 to the groundH639. 32Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “WhyH5921H4100 have you struckH5221 your donkeyH860 theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH7272? BeholdH2009, I have comeH3318 outH3318 as an adversaryH7854, becauseH3588 your wayH1870 was 3recklessH3399 and contraryH5048 to me. 33But the donkeyH860 sawH7200 me and turnedH5186 awayH5186 from me theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH7272. IfH194 she had not turnedH5186 awayH5186 from me, I certainlyH3588 would have killedH2026 you just nowH6258, and let her liveH2421.” 34So BalaamH1109 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, “4I have sinnedH2398, for I did not knowH3045 that you were standingH5324 in the wayH1870 againstH7122 me. NowH6258 then, ifH518 it is displeasingH7451H5869 to you, I will turnH7725 backH7725.” 35But the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “GoH1980 with the menH376, but 5you shall speakH1696 onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I 6tellH1696 you.” So BalaamH1109 wentH1980 along with the representativesH8269 of BalakH1111.

36When BalakH1111 heardH8085 that BalaamH1109 was comingH935, he wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 him at the cityH5892 of MoabH4124, whichH834 is on the ArnonH769 borderH1366, 7at the extremeH7097 endH7097 of the borderH1366. 37Then BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “Did I not urgentlyH7971 sendH7971 word to you to callH7121 for you? WhyH4100 did you not comeH1980 to me? AmH3201 I reallyH552 unableH3808H3201 to honorH3513 you?” 38So BalaamH1109 saidH559 to BalakH1111, “BeholdH2009, I have comeH935 to you nowH6258! 8AmH3201 I reallyH3201 ableH3201 to speakH1696 anythingH3972? The wordH1697 that GodH430 putsH7760 in my mouthH6310, that only shall I speakH1696.” 39And BalaamH1109 wentH1980 with BalakH1111, and they cameH935 to Kiriath-huzothH7155. 40BalakH1111 sacrificedH2076 oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and sentH7971 some to BalaamH1109 and the leadersH8269 whoH834 were with him.

41Then it cameH1961 aboutH1961 in the morningH1242 that BalakH1111 tookH3947 BalaamH1109 and broughtH5927 him upH5927 to 910the highH1116 placesH1116 of BaalH1168, and he sawH7200 from thereH8033 11a 12portionH7097 of the peopleH5971.
