Numbers 22:1-41

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>_.
