Numbers 22:30-41
30And the ass saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Am notH3808 I thine ass, uponH5921 whichH834 thou hast riddenH7392 allH5704 thy lifeH3117 longH5704 unto this dayH3117? was I everH2088 wont to doH6213 soH6213 unto thee? And he saidH559, Nay. 31Then the LORDH3068 openedH1540 the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870, with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and he bowedH7812 his head, and fell on his faceH639. 32And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smittenH5221 thine ass theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH7272? beholdH2009, I am comeH3318 forthH3318 for an adversaryH7854, becauseH3588 thy wayH1870 is perverse beforeH5048 meH413: 33and the ass sawH7200 meH6440, and turnedH5186 asideH5186 beforeH6440 meH6440 theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH7272: unlessH3588 sheH3588 had turnedH5186 asideH5186 from meH6440, surelyH3588 nowH6258 I had evenH1571 slainH2026 thee, and saved herH7200 aliveH2421. 34And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398; for I knewH3045 notH3808 that thou stoodest in the wayH1870 againstH413 meH413: nowH6258 therefore, ifH518 it displease thee, I will getH7725 meH413 backH7725 againH7725. 35And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Go with the menH376: but onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee, that thou shalt speakH1696. SoH834 BalaamH1109 wentH413 with the princesH8269 of BalakH1111. 36And when BalakH1111 heardH8085 that BalaamH1109 was comeH935, he wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 him unto the CityH5892 of MoabH4124, whichH834 is on the borderH1366 of ArnonH769, whichH834 is in the utmost partH5921 of the borderH1366. 37And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, DidH4100 I notH3808 earnestly sendH7971 unto thee to callH7121 thee? wherefore camest thou notH3808 unto meH413? am I notH3808 ableH3201 indeedH552 to promote thee to honour? 38And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, LoH2009, I am comeH935 unto thee: have I nowH6258 anyH3972 power at allH1697 to speakH1696 anyH3972 thingH1697? the wordH1697 that GodH430 putteth in my mouthH6310, that shall I speakH1696. 39And BalaamH1109 wentH935 with BalakH1111, and they cameH935 unto Kiriath-huzothH7155. 40And BalakH1111 sacrificedH2076 oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and sentH7971 to BalaamH1109, and to the princesH8269 that were with him. 41And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the morningH1242, that BalakH1111 tookH3947 BalaamH1109, and broughtH5927 him upH5927 intoH1961 the high places of Baal, and he sawH7200 from thence the utmost part of the peopleH5971.
