Numbers 22:2-6

2And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 sawH7200 all that IsraelH3478 had doneH6213 to the AmoritesH567. 3And MoabH4124 was soreH3966 afraidH1481 ofH6440 the peopleH5971, because they were manyH7227: and MoabH4124 was distressedH6973 because ofH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4And MoabH4124 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, Now shall this companyH6951 lick upH3897 all that are round aboutH5439 us, as the oxH7794 licketh upH3897 the grassH3418 of the fieldH7704. And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of the MoabitesH4124 at that timeH6256. 5He sentH7971 messengersH4397 therefore unto BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to PethorH6604, which is by the riverH5104 of the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, Behold, there is a peopleH5971 come outH3318 from EgyptH4714: behold, they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, and they abideH3427 over againstH4136 me:1 6ComeH3212 now therefore, I pray thee, curseH779 me this peopleH5971; for they are too mightyH6099 for me: peradventure I shall prevailH3201, that we may smiteH5221 them, and that I may drive them outH1644 of the landH776: for I wotH3045 that he whom thou blessestH1288 is blessedH1288, and he whom thou cursestH779 is cursedH779.
