Numbers 22:1-7

1And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and pitchedH2583 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383 at JerichoH3405.

2And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 sawH7200 allH3605 that IsraelH3478 had doneH6213 to the AmoritesH567.

3And MoabH4124 was sore afraidH1481 of the peopleH5971, becauseH3588 they were manyH7227: and MoabH4124 was distressed becauseH3588 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

4And MoabH4124 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, NowH6258 shall this multitude lickH3897 upH853 allH3605 that is roundH5439 aboutH5439 usH413, as the oxH7794 licketh upH853 the grassH3418 of the fieldH7704. And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of MoabH4124 at that time.

5And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, to Pethor, whichH834 is by the RiverH5104, to the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, there is a peopleH5971 comeH3318 outH3318 from EgyptH4714: beholdH2009, they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, and they abideH3427 over againstH5921 meH413:

6comeH4994 nowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, curseH779 meH4994 this peopleH5971; for they are tooH4480 mightyH6099 for meH4994: peradventure I shall prevailH3201, that weH3588 may smiteH5221 them, and that I may driveH1644 them outH4480 of the landH776: for I knowH3045 that he whomH834 thou blessest is blessedH1288, and he whomH834 thou cursest is cursedH779.

7And the eldersH2205 of MoabH4124 and the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080 departedH935 with the rewards of divinationH7081 in their handH3027; and they cameH935 unto BalaamH1109, and spake unto him the wordsH1697 of BalakH1111.
