Numbers 22:15-22
15And BalakH1111 sentH7971 yet againH3254 princesH8269, moreH7227, and more honourableH3513 than they. 16And they cameH935 to BalaamH1109, and saidH559 to him, Thus saithH559 BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinderH4513 thee from comingH1980 unto me:1 17For I will promoteH3513 thee unto very greatH3966 honourH3513, and I will doH6213 whatsoever thou sayestH559 unto me: comeH3212 therefore, I pray thee, curseH6895 me this peopleH5971. 18And BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the servantsH5650 of BalakH1111, If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the wordH6310 of YhwhH3068 my GodH430, to doH6213 lessH6996 or moreH1419. 19Now therefore, I pray you, tarryH3427 ye also here this nightH3915, that I may knowH3045 what YhwhH3068 will sayH1696 unto me moreH3254. 20And GodH430 cameH935 unto BalaamH1109 at nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, If the menH582 comeH935 to callH7121 thee, rise upH6965, and goH3212 with them; but yetH389 the wordH1697 which I shall sayH1696 unto thee, that shalt thou doH6213. 21And BalaamH1109 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his donkeyH860, and wentH3212 with the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.
22And God’sH430 angerH639 was kindledH2734 because he wentH1980: and the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 stoodH3320 in the wayH1870 for an adversaryH7854 against him. Now he was ridingH7392 upon his donkeyH860, and his twoH8147 servantsH5288 were with him.
