Numbers 22:30-41

30And the donkeyH860 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, Am not I thy donkeyH860, upon which thou hast ridH7392 ever since I was thine to this dayH3117? was I everH5532 accustomedH5532 to do soH6213 to thee? And he saidH559, Nay.12 31Then the LORDH3068 openedH1540 the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870, and his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and he bowed downH6915 his head, and fell flatH7812 on his faceH639.3 32And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, Why hast thou smittenH5221 thy donkeyH860 these threeH7969 timesH7272? behold, I went outH3318 to withstandH7854 thee, because thy wayH1870 is perverseH3399 before me:4 33And the donkeyH860 sawH7200 me, and turnedH5186 from meH6440 these threeH7969 timesH7272: unlessH194 she had turnedH5186 from meH6440, surely now also I had slainH2026 thee, and saved her aliveH2421. 34And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398; for I knewH3045 not that thou stoodestH5324 in the wayH1870 againstH7125 me: now therefore, if it displease theeH7489H5869, I will return againH7725.5 35And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, GoH3212 with the menH582: but onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 to thee, that thou shalt speakH1696. So BalaamH1109 wentH3212 with the princesH8269 of BalakH1111.

36And when BalakH1111 heardH8085 that BalaamH1109 had comeH935, he went outH3318 to meetH7125 him to a cityH5892 of MoabH4124, which is in the borderH1366 of ArnonH769, which is in the utmostH7097 borderH1366. 37And BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, Did I not earnestlyH7971 sendH7971 to thee to callH7121 thee? why camestH1980 thou not to me? am I not ableH3201 indeedH552 to promote thee to honourH3513? 38And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to BalakH1111, Lo, I have comeH935 to thee: have I now any powerH3201 at allH3201 to sayH1696 any thingH3972? the wordH1697 that GodH430 puttethH7760 in my mouthH6310, that shall I speakH1696. 39And BalaamH1109 wentH3212 with BalakH1111, and they cameH935 to KirjathhuzothH2351H7155.6 40And BalakH1111 offeredH2076 oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and sentH7971 to BalaamH1109, and to the princesH8269 that were with him. 41And it came to pass on the next morningH1242, that BalakH1111 tookH3947 BalaamH1109, and brought him upH5927 to the high placesH1116 of BaalH1120, that from there he might seeH7200 the utmostH7097 part of the peopleH5971.
