Numbers 22:6-11

61NowH6258, therefore, pleaseH4994 comeH1980, 2curseH779 thisH2088 peopleH5971 for me sinceH3588 they are tooH4480 3mightyH6099 for me; perhapsH194 I will beH3201 ableH3201 to 4defeatH5221 them and driveH1644 them outH1644 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 leftH1980 with the fees for 5divinationH7081 in their handsH3027; and they cameH935 to BalaamH1109 and 6repeatedH1696 Balak’sH1111 wordsH1697 to him. 8And he saidH559 to them, “SpendH3885 the nightH3915 hereH6311, and I will bringH7725 wordH1697 backH7725 to you justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 may speakH1696 to me.” And the leadersH8269 of MoabH4124 stayedH3427 with BalaamH1109. 9Then 7GodH430 cameH935 to BalaamH1109 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 are theseH428 menH376 with you?” 10BalaamH1109 saidH559 to GodH430, “BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, sentH7971 word to me: 11‘BeholdH2009, there is a peopleH5971 who cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and they coverH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the landH776; nowH6258 comeH1980, curseH6895 them for me; perhapsH194 I will beH3201 ableH3201 to fightH3898 against them and driveH1644 them outH1644.’”
