1

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] set forward, [5265] and pitched [2583] in the plains [6160] of Moab [4124] on this side [5676] Jordan [3383] [by] Jericho. [3405]

2

And Balak [1111] the son [1121] of Zippor [6834] saw [7200] all that Israel [3478] had done [6213] to the Amorites. [0567]

3

And Moab [4124] was sore [3966] afraid [1481] of [6440] the people, [5971] because they [were] many: [7227] and Moab [4124] was distressed [6973] because of [6440] the children [1121] of Israel. [3478]

4

And Moab [4124] said [0559] unto the elders [2205] of Midian, [4080] Now shall this company [6951] lick up [3897] all [that are] round about [5439] us, as the ox [7794] licketh up [3897] the grass [3418] of the field. [7704] And Balak [1111] the son [1121] of Zippor [6834] [was] king [4428] of the Moabites [4124] at that time. [6256]

5

He sent [7971] messengers [4397] therefore unto Balaam [1109] the son [1121] of Beor [1160] to Pethor, [6604] which [is] by the river [5104] of the land [0776] of the children [1121] of his people, [5971] to call [7121] him, saying, [0559] Behold, there is a people [5971] come out [3318] from Egypt: [4714] behold, they cover [3680] the face [5869] of the earth, [0776] and they abide [3427] over against [4136] me:

6

Come [3212] now therefore, I pray thee, curse [0779] me this people; [5971] for they [are] too mighty [6099] for me: peradventure I shall prevail, [3201] [that] we may smite [5221] them, and [that] I may drive them out [1644] of the land: [0776] for I wot [3045] that he whom thou blessest [1288] [is] blessed, [1288] and he whom thou cursest [0779] is cursed. [0779]

7

And the elders [2205] of Moab [4124] and the elders [2205] of Midian [4080] departed [3212] with the rewards of divination [7081] in their hand; [3027] and they came [0935] unto Balaam, [1109] and spake [1696] unto him the words [1697] of Balak. [1111]

8

And he said [0559] unto them, Lodge [3885] here this night, [3915] and I will bring you word [1697] again, [7725] as the LORD [3068] shall speak [1696] unto me: and the princes [8269] of Moab [4124] abode [3427] with Balaam. [1109]

9

And God [0430] came [0935] unto Balaam, [1109] and said, [0559] What men [0582] [are] these with thee?

10

And Balaam [1109] said [0559] unto God, [0430] Balak [1111] the son [1121] of Zippor, [6834] king [4428] of Moab, [4124] hath sent [7971] unto me, [saying],

11

Behold, [there is] a people [5971] come out [3318] of Egypt, [4714] which covereth [3680] the face [5869] of the earth: [0776] come [3212] now, curse [6895] me them; peradventure I shall be able [3201] to overcome [3898] them, and drive them out. [1644]

12

And God [0430] said [0559] unto Balaam, [1109] Thou shalt not go [3212] with them; thou shalt not curse [0779] the people: [5971] for they [are] blessed. [1288]

13

And Balaam [1109] rose up [6965] in the morning, [1242] and said [0559] unto the princes [8269] of Balak, [1111] Get [3212] you into your land: [0776] for the LORD [3068] refuseth [3985] to give me leave [5414] to go [1980] with you.

14

And the princes [8269] of Moab [4124] rose up, [6965] and they went [0935] unto Balak, [1111] and said, [0559] Balaam [1109] refuseth [3985] to come [1980] with us.

15

And Balak [1111] sent [7971] yet again [3254] princes, [8269] more, [7227] and more honourable [3513] than they.

16

And they came [0935] to Balaam, [1109] and said [0559] to him, Thus saith [0559] Balak [1111] the son [1121] of Zippor, [6834] Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder [4513] thee from coming [1980] unto me:

17

For I will promote thee unto very [3966] great [3513] honour, [3513] and I will do [6213] whatsoever thou sayest [0559] unto me: come [3212] therefore, I pray thee, curse [6895] me this people. [5971]

18

And Balaam [1109] answered [6030] and said [0559] unto the servants [5650] of Balak, [1111] If Balak [1111] would give [5414] me his house [1004] full [4393] of silver [3701] and gold, [2091] I cannot [3808] [3201] go beyond [5674] the word [6310] of the LORD [3068] my God, [0430] to do [6213] less [6996] or more. [1419]

19

Now therefore, I pray you, tarry [3427] ye also here this night, [3915] that I may know [3045] what the LORD [3068] will say [1696] unto me more. [3254]

20

And God [0430] came [0935] unto Balaam [1109] at night, [3915] and said [0559] unto him, If the men [0582] come [0935] to call [7121] thee, rise up, [6965] [and] go [3212] with them; but yet [0389] the word [1697] which I shall say [1696] unto thee, that shalt thou do. [6213]

21

And Balaam [1109] rose up [6965] in the morning, [1242] and saddled [2280] his ass, [0860] and went [3212] with the princes [8269] of Moab. [4124]

22

And God's [0430] anger [0639] was kindled [2734] because he went: [1980] and the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] stood [3320] in the way [1870] for an adversary [7854] against him. Now he was riding [7392] upon his ass, [0860] and his two [8147] servants [5288] [were] with him.

23

And the ass [0860] saw [7200] the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] standing [5324] in the way, [1870] and his sword [2719] drawn [8025] in his hand: [3027] and the ass [0860] turned aside [5186] out of the way, [1870] and went [3212] into the field: [7704] and Balaam [1109] smote [5221] the ass, [0860] to turn [5186] her into the way. [1870]

24

But the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] stood [5975] in a path [4934] of the vineyards, [3754] a wall [1447] [being] on this side, and a wall [1447] on that side.

25

And when the ass [0860] saw [7200] the angel [4397] of the LORD, [3068] she thrust [3905] herself unto the wall, [7023] and crushed [3905] Balaam's [1109] foot [7272] against the wall: [7023] and he smote [5221] her again. [3254]

26

And the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] went [5674] further, [3254] and stood [5975] in a narrow [6862] place, [4725] where [was] no way [1870] to turn [5186] either to the right hand [3225] or to the left. [8040]

27

And when the ass [0860] saw [7200] the angel [4397] of the LORD, [3068] she fell down [7257] under Balaam: [1109] and Balaam's [1109] anger [0639] was kindled, [2734] and he smote [5221] the ass [0860] with a staff. [4731]

28

And the LORD [3068] opened [6605] the mouth [6310] of the ass, [0860] and she said [0559] unto Balaam, [1109] What have I done [6213] unto thee, that thou hast smitten [5221] me these three [7969] times? [7272]

29

And Balaam [1109] said [0559] unto the ass, [0860] Because thou hast mocked [5953] me: I would [3863] there were [3426] a sword [2719] in mine hand, [3027] for now would I kill [2026] thee.

30

And the ass [0860] said [0559] unto Balaam, [1109] [Am] not I thine ass, [0860] upon which thou hast ridden [7392] ever since [I was] thine unto this day? [3117] was I ever [5532] wont [5532] to do [6213] so unto thee? And he said, [0559] Nay.

31

Then the LORD [3068] opened [1540] the eyes [5869] of Balaam, [1109] and he saw [7200] the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] standing [5324] in the way, [1870] and his sword [2719] drawn [8025] in his hand: [3027] and he bowed down his head, [6915] and fell flat [7812] on his face. [0639]

32

And the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten [5221] thine ass [0860] these three [7969] times? [7272] behold, I went out [3318] to withstand [7854] thee, because [thy] way [1870] is perverse [3399] before me:

33

And the ass [0860] saw [7200] me, and turned [5186] from me [6440] these three [7969] times: [7272] unless [0194] she had turned [5186] from me, [6440] surely now also I had slain [2026] thee, and saved her alive. [2421]

34

And Balaam [1109] said [0559] unto the angel [4397] of the LORD, [3068] I have sinned; [2398] for I knew [3045] not that thou stoodest [5324] in the way [1870] against [7125] me: now therefore, if it displease [7489] thee, [5869] I will get me back again. [7725]

35

And the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Balaam, [1109] Go [3212] with the men: [0582] but only [0657] the word [1697] that I shall speak [1696] unto thee, that thou shalt speak. [1696] So Balaam [1109] went [3212] with the princes [8269] of Balak. [1111]

36

And when Balak [1111] heard [8085] that Balaam [1109] was come, [0935] he went out [3318] to meet [7125] him unto a city [5892] of Moab, [4124] which [is] in the border [1366] of Arnon, [0769] which [is] in the utmost [7097] coast. [1366]

37

And Balak [1111] said [0559] unto Balaam, [1109] Did I not earnestly [7971] send [7971] unto thee to call [7121] thee? wherefore camest [1980] thou not unto me? am I not able [3201] indeed [0552] to promote thee to honour? [3513]

38

And Balaam [1109] said [0559] unto Balak, [1111] Lo, I am come [0935] unto thee: have I now any power [3201] at all [3201] to say [1696] any thing? [3972] the word [1697] that God [0430] putteth [7760] in my mouth, [6310] that shall I speak. [1696]

39

And Balaam [1109] went [3212] with Balak, [1111] and they came [0935] unto Kirjathhuzoth. [7151] [2351][7155]

40

And Balak [1111] offered [2076] oxen [1241] and sheep, [6629] and sent [7971] to Balaam, [1109] and to the princes [8269] that [were] with him.

41

And it came to pass on the morrow, [1242] that Balak [1111] took [3947] Balaam, [1109] and brought him up [5927] into the high places [1116] of Baal, [1120] that thence he might see [7200] the utmost [7097] [part] of the people. [5971]
