Numbers 22

And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
set forward
<05265> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in the plains
<06160>
of Moab
<04124>
on this side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>
[by] Jericho
<03405>_.
And Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>
saw
<07200> (8799)
all that Israel
<03478>
had done
<06213> (8804)
to the Amorites
<0567>_.
And Moab
<04124>
was sore
<03966>
afraid
<01481> (8799)
of
<06440>
the people
<05971>_,
because they [were] many
<07227>_:
and Moab
<04124>
was distressed
<06973> (8799)
because of
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And Moab
<04124>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Midian
<04080>_,
Now shall this company
<06951>
lick up
<03897> (8762)
all [that are] round about
<05439>
us, as the ox
<07794>
licketh up
<03897> (8800)
the grass
<03418>
of the field
<07704>_.
And Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>
[was] king
<04428>
of the Moabites
<04124>
at that time
<06256>_.
He sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
therefore unto Balaam
<01109>
the son
<01121>
of Beor
<01160>
to Pethor
<06604>_,
which [is] by the river
<05104>
of the land
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of his people
<05971>_,
to call
<07121> (8800)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, there is a people
<05971>
come out
<03318> (8804)
from Egypt
<04714>_:
behold, they cover
<03680> (8765)
the face
<05869>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and they abide
<03427> (8802)
over against
<04136>
me: {face: Heb. eye}
Come
<03212> (8798)
now therefore, I pray thee, curse
<0779> (8798)
me this people
<05971>_;
for they [are] too mighty
<06099>
for me: peradventure I shall prevail
<03201> (8799)_,
[that] we may smite
<05221> (8686)
them, and [that] I may drive them out
<01644> (8762)
of the land
<0776>_:
for I wot
<03045> (8804)
that he whom thou blessest
<01288> (8762)
[is] blessed
<01288> (8794)_,
and he whom thou cursest
<0779> (8799)
is cursed
<0779> (8714)_.
And the elders
<02205>
of Moab
<04124>
and the elders
<02205>
of Midian
<04080>
departed
<03212> (8799)
with the rewards of divination
<07081>
in their hand
<03027>_;
and they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him the words
<01697>
of Balak
<01111>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Lodge
<03885> (8798)
here this night
<03915>_,
and I will bring
<07725> (0)
you word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8689)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto me: and the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>
abode
<03427> (8799)
with Balaam
<01109>_.
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What men
<0582>
[are] these with thee?
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
unto me, [saying],
Behold, [there is] a people
<05971>
come out
<03318> (8802)
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which covereth
<03680> (8762)
the face
<05869>
of the earth
<0776>_:
come
<03212> (8798)
now, curse
<06895> (8798)
me them; peradventure I shall be able
<03201> (8799)
to overcome
<03898> (8736)
them, and drive them out
<01644> (8765)_.
{I shall...: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him}
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Thou shalt not go
<03212> (8799)
with them; thou shalt not curse
<0779> (8799)
the people
<05971>_:
for they [are] blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
And Balaam
<01109>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the princes
<08269>
of Balak
<01111>_,
Get
<03212> (8798)
you into your land
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
refuseth
<03985> (8765)
to give me leave
<05414> (8800)
to go
<01980> (8800)
with you.
And the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and they went
<0935> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Balaam
<01109>
refuseth
<03985> (8765)
to come
<01980> (8800)
with us.
And Balak
<01111>
sent
<07971> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)
princes
<08269>_,
more
<07227>_,
and more honourable
<03513> (8737)
than they.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to Balaam
<01109>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder
<04513> (8735)
thee from coming
<01980> (8800)
unto me: {Let...: Heb. Be not thou hindered from, etc}
For I will promote
<03513> (0)
thee unto very
<03966>
great
<03513> (8763)
honour
<03513> (8762)_,
and I will do
<06213> (8799)
whatsoever thou sayest
<0559> (8799)
unto me: come
<03212> (8798)
therefore, I pray thee, curse
<06895> (8798)
me this people
<05971>_.
And Balaam
<01109>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the servants
<05650>
of Balak
<01111>_,
If Balak
<01111>
would give
<05414> (8799)
me his house
<01004>
full
<04393>
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go beyond
<05674> (8800)
the word
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
less
<06996>
or more
<01419>_.
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry
<03427> (8798)
ye also here this night
<03915>_,
that I may know
<03045> (8799)
what the LORD
<03068>
will say
<01696> (8763)
unto me more
<03254> (8686)_.
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>
at night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If the men
<0582>
come
<0935> (8804)
to call
<07121> (8800)
thee, rise up
<06965> (8798)_,
[and] go
<03212> (8798)
with them; but yet
<0389>
the word
<01697>
which I shall say
<01696> (8762)
unto thee, that shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)_.
And Balaam
<01109>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and saddled
<02280> (8799)
his ass
<0860>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
with the princes
<08269>
of Moab
<04124>_.
And God's
<0430>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
because he went
<01980> (8802)_:
and the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<03320> (8691)
in the way
<01870>
for an adversary
<07854>
against him. Now he was riding
<07392> (8802)
upon his ass
<0860>_,
and his two
<08147>
servants
<05288>
[were] with him.
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and the ass
<0860>
turned aside
<05186> (8799)
out of the way
<01870>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_:
and Balaam
<01109>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>_,
to turn
<05186> (8687)
her into the way
<01870>_.
But the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in a path
<04934>
of the vineyards
<03754>_,
a wall
<01447>
[being] on this side, and a wall
<01447>
on that side.
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she thrust
<03905> (8735)
herself unto the wall
<07023>_,
and crushed
<03905> (8799)
Balaam's
<01109>
foot
<07272>
against the wall
<07023>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8687)
her again
<03254> (8686)_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
went
<05674> (8800)
further
<03254> (8686)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in a narrow
<06862>
place
<04725>_,
where [was] no way
<01870>
to turn
<05186> (8800)
either to the right hand
<03225>
or to the left
<08040>_.
And when the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she fell down
<07257> (8799)
under Balaam
<01109>_:
and Balaam's
<01109>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the ass
<0860>
with a staff
<04731>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06605> (8799)
the mouth
<06310>
of the ass
<0860>_,
and she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
What have I done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee, that thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)
me these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the ass
<0860>_,
Because thou hast mocked
<05953> (8694)
me: I would
<03863>
there were
<03426>
a sword
<02719>
in mine hand
<03027>_,
for now would I kill
<02026> (8804)
thee.
And the ass
<0860>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
[Am] not I thine ass
<0860>_,
upon which thou hast ridden
<07392> (8804)
ever since [I was] thine unto this day
<03117>_?
was I ever
<05532> (8687)
wont
<05532> (8689)
to do so
<06213> (8800)
unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay. {upon...: Heb. who hast ridden upon me} {ever since...: or, ever since thou wast, etc}
Then the LORD
<03068>
opened
<01540> (8762)
the eyes
<05869>
of Balaam
<01109>_,
and he saw
<07200> (8799)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
standing
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>_,
and his sword
<02719>
drawn
<08025> (8803)
in his hand
<03027>_:
and he bowed down
<06915> (8799)
his head, and fell flat
<07812> (8691)
on his face
<0639>_.
{fell...: or, bowed himself}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
<05221> (8689)
thine ass
<0860>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_?
behold, I went out
<03318> (8804)
to withstand
<07854>
thee, because [thy] way
<01870>
is perverse
<03399> (8804)
before me: {to...: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee}
And the ass
<0860>
saw
<07200> (8799)
me, and turned
<05186> (8799)
from me
<06440>
these three
<07969>
times
<07272>_:
unless
<0194>
she had turned
<05186> (8804)
from me
<06440>_,
surely now also I had slain
<02026> (8804)
thee, and saved her alive
<02421> (8689)_.
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;
for I knew
<03045> (8804)
not that thou stoodest
<05324> (8737)
in the way
<01870>
against
<07125> (8800)
me: now therefore, if it displease thee
<07489> (8804) <05869>_,
I will get me back again
<07725> (8799)_.
{displease...: Heb. be evil in thine eyes}
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
with the men
<0582>_:
but only
<0657>
the word
<01697>
that I shall speak
<01696> (8762)
unto thee, that thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.
So Balaam
<01109>
went
<03212> (8799)
with the princes
<08269>
of Balak
<01111>_.
And when Balak
<01111>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that Balaam
<01109>
was come
<0935> (8802)_,
he went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him unto a city
<05892>
of Moab
<04124>_,
which [is] in the border
<01366>
of Arnon
<0769>_,
which [is] in the utmost
<07097>
coast
<01366>_.
And Balak
<01111>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balaam
<01109>_,
Did I not earnestly
<07971> (8800)
send
<07971> (8804)
unto thee to call
<07121> (8800)
thee? wherefore camest
<01980> (8804)
thou not unto me? am I not able
<03201> (8799)
indeed
<0552>
to promote thee to honour
<03513> (8763)_?
And Balaam
<01109>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Balak
<01111>_,
Lo, I am come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee: have I now any power
<03201> (8799)
at all
<03201> (8800)
to say
<01696> (8763)
any thing
<03972>_?
the word
<01697>
that God
<0430>
putteth
<07760> (8799)
in my mouth
<06310>_,
that shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_.
And Balaam
<01109>
went
<03212> (8799)
with Balak
<01111>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
unto Kirjathhuzoth
<02351> <07155>_.
{Kirjathhuzoth: or, a city of streets}
And Balak
<01111>
offered
<02076> (8799)
oxen
<01241>
and sheep
<06629>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
to Balaam
<01109>_,
and to the princes
<08269>
that [were] with him.
And it came to pass on the morrow
<01242>_,
that Balak
<01111>
took
<03947> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>_,
and brought him up
<05927> (8686)
into the high places
<01116>
of Baal
<01120>_,
that thence he might see
<07200> (8799)
the utmost
<07097>
[part] of the people
<05971>_.
