KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5265 set forward [H8799]   H2583 , and pitched [H8799]   H6160 in the plains H4124 of Moab H5676 on this side H3383 Jordan H3405 by Jericho.
  2 H1111 And Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H7200 saw [H8799]   H3478 all that Israel H6213 had done [H8804]   H567 to the Amorites.
  3 H4124 And Moab H3966 was sore H1481 afraid [H8799]   H6440 of H5971 the people H7227 , because they were many H4124 : and Moab H6973 was distressed [H8799]   H6440 because of H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.
  4 H4124 And Moab H559 said [H8799]   H2205 unto the elders H4080 of Midian H6951 , Now shall this company H3897 lick up [H8762]   H5439 all that are round about H7794 us, as the ox H3897 licketh up [H8800]   H3418 the grass H7704 of the field H1111 . And Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H4428 was king H4124 of the Moabites H6256 at that time.
  5 H7971 He sent [H8799]   H4397 messengers H1109 therefore unto Balaam H1121 the son H1160 of Beor H6604 to Pethor H5104 , which is by the river H776 of the land H1121 of the children H5971 of his people H7121 , to call [H8800]   H559 him, saying [H8800]   H5971 , Behold, there is a people H3318 come out [H8804]   H4714 from Egypt H3680 : behold, they cover [H8765]   H5869 the face H776 of the earth H3427 , and they abide [H8802]   H4136 over against me:
  6 H3212 Come [H8798]   H779 now therefore, I pray thee, curse [H8798]   H5971 me this people H6099 ; for they are too mighty H3201 for me: peradventure I shall prevail [H8799]   H5221 , that we may smite [H8686]   H1644 them, and that I may drive them out [H8762]   H776 of the land H3045 : for I wot [H8804]   H1288 that he whom thou blessest [H8762]   H1288 is blessed [H8794]   H779 , and he whom thou cursest [H8799]   H779 is cursed [H8714]  .
  7 H2205 And the elders H4124 of Moab H2205 and the elders H4080 of Midian H3212 departed [H8799]   H7081 with the rewards of divination H3027 in their hand H935 ; and they came [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H1696 , and spake [H8762]   H1697 unto him the words H1111 of Balak.
  8 H559 And he said [H8799]   H3885 unto them, Lodge [H8798]   H3915 here this night H7725 , and I will bring H1697 you word H7725 again [H8689]   H3068 , as the LORD H1696 shall speak [H8762]   H8269 unto me: and the princes H4124 of Moab H3427 abode [H8799]   H1109 with Balaam.
  9 H430 And God H935 came [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H559 , and said [H8799]   H582 , What men are these with thee?
  10 H1109 And Balaam H559 said [H8799]   H430 unto God H1111 , Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H4428 , king H4124 of Moab H7971 , hath sent [H8804]   unto me, saying,
  11 H5971 Behold, there is a people H3318 come out [H8802]   H4714 of Egypt H3680 , which covereth [H8762]   H5869 the face H776 of the earth H3212 : come [H8798]   H6895 now, curse [H8798]   H3201 me them; peradventure I shall be able [H8799]   H3898 to overcome [H8736]   H1644 them, and drive them out [H8765]  .
  12 H430 And God H559 said [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H3212 , Thou shalt not go [H8799]   H779 with them; thou shalt not curse [H8799]   H5971 the people H1288 : for they are blessed [H8803]  .
  13 H1109 And Balaam H6965 rose up [H8799]   H1242 in the morning H559 , and said [H8799]   H8269 unto the princes H1111 of Balak H3212 , Get [H8798]   H776 you into your land H3068 : for the LORD H3985 refuseth [H8765]   H5414 to give me leave [H8800]   H1980 to go [H8800]   with you.
  14 H8269 And the princes H4124 of Moab H6965 rose up [H8799]   H935 , and they went [H8799]   H1111 unto Balak H559 , and said [H8799]   H1109 , Balaam H3985 refuseth [H8765]   H1980 to come [H8800]   with us.
  15 H1111 And Balak H7971 sent [H8800]   H3254 yet again [H8686]   H8269 princes H7227 , more H3513 , and more honourable [H8737]   than they.
  16 H935 And they came [H8799]   H1109 to Balaam H559 , and said [H8799]   H559 to him, Thus saith [H8804]   H1111 Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H4513 , Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder [H8735]   H1980 thee from coming [H8800]   unto me:
  17 H3513 For I will promote H3966 thee unto very H3513 great [H8763]   H3513 honour [H8762]   H6213 , and I will do [H8799]   H559 whatsoever thou sayest [H8799]   H3212 unto me: come [H8798]   H6895 therefore, I pray thee, curse [H8798]   H5971 me this people.
  18 H1109 And Balaam H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H5650 unto the servants H1111 of Balak H1111 , If Balak H5414 would give [H8799]   H1004 me his house H4393 full H3701 of silver H2091 and gold H3201 , I cannot [H8799]   H5674 go beyond [H8800]   H6310 the word H3068 of the LORD H430 my God H6213 , to do [H8800]   H6996 less H1419 or more.
  19 H3427 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry [H8798]   H3915 ye also here this night H3045 , that I may know [H8799]   H3068 what the LORD H1696 will say [H8763]   H3254 unto me more [H8686]  .
  20 H430 And God H935 came [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H3915 at night H559 , and said [H8799]   H582 unto him, If the men H935 come [H8804]   H7121 to call [H8800]   H6965 thee, rise up [H8798]   H3212 , and go [H8798]   H389 with them; but yet H1697 the word H1696 which I shall say [H8762]   H6213 unto thee, that shalt thou do [H8799]  .
  21 H1109 And Balaam H6965 rose up [H8799]   H1242 in the morning H2280 , and saddled [H8799]   H860 his ass H3212 , and went [H8799]   H8269 with the princes H4124 of Moab.
  22 H430 And God's H639 anger H2734 was kindled [H8799]   H1980 because he went [H8802]   H4397 : and the angel H3068 of the LORD H3320 stood [H8691]   H1870 in the way H7854 for an adversary H7392 against him. Now he was riding [H8802]   H860 upon his ass H8147 , and his two H5288 servants were with him.
  23 H860 And the ass H7200 saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H3068 of the LORD H5324 standing [H8737]   H1870 in the way H2719 , and his sword H8025 drawn [H8803]   H3027 in his hand H860 : and the ass H5186 turned aside [H8799]   H1870 out of the way H3212 , and went [H8799]   H7704 into the field H1109 : and Balaam H5221 smote [H8686]   H860 the ass H5186 , to turn [H8687]   H1870 her into the way.
  24 H4397 But the angel H3068 of the LORD H5975 stood [H8799]   H4934 in a path H3754 of the vineyards H1447 , a wall H1447 being on this side, and a wall on that side.
  25 H860 And when the ass H7200 saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H3068 of the LORD H3905 , she thrust [H8735]   H7023 herself unto the wall H3905 , and crushed [H8799]   H1109 Balaam's H7272 foot H7023 against the wall H5221 : and he smote [H8687]   H3254 her again [H8686]  .
  26 H4397 And the angel H3068 of the LORD H5674 went [H8800]   H3254 further [H8686]   H5975 , and stood [H8799]   H6862 in a narrow H4725 place H1870 , where was no way H5186 to turn [H8800]   H3225 either to the right hand H8040 or to the left.
  27 H860 And when the ass H7200 saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H3068 of the LORD H7257 , she fell down [H8799]   H1109 under Balaam H1109 : and Balaam's H639 anger H2734 was kindled [H8799]   H5221 , and he smote [H8686]   H860 the ass H4731 with a staff.
  28 H3068 And the LORD H6605 opened [H8799]   H6310 the mouth H860 of the ass H559 , and she said [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H6213 , What have I done [H8804]   H5221 unto thee, that thou hast smitten [H8689]   H7969 me these three H7272 times?
  29 H1109 And Balaam H559 said [H8799]   H860 unto the ass H5953 , Because thou hast mocked [H8694]   H3863 me: I would H3426 there were H2719 a sword H3027 in mine hand H2026 , for now would I kill [H8804]   thee.
  30 H860 And the ass H559 said [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H860 , Am not I thine ass H7392 , upon which thou hast ridden [H8804]   H3117 ever since I was thine unto this day H5532 ? was I ever [H8687]   H5532 wont [H8689]   H6213 to do so [H8800]   H559 unto thee? And he said [H8799]  , Nay.
  31 H3068 Then the LORD H1540 opened [H8762]   H5869 the eyes H1109 of Balaam H7200 , and he saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H3068 of the LORD H5324 standing [H8737]   H1870 in the way H2719 , and his sword H8025 drawn [H8803]   H3027 in his hand H6915 : and he bowed down [H8799]   H7812 his head, and fell flat [H8691]   H639 on his face.
  32 H4397 And the angel H3068 of the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H5221 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten [H8689]   H860 thine ass H7969 these three H7272 times H3318 ? behold, I went out [H8804]   H7854 to withstand H1870 thee, because thy way H3399 is perverse [H8804]   before me:
  33 H860 And the ass H7200 saw [H8799]   H5186 me, and turned [H8799]   H6440 from me H7969 these three H7272 times H194 : unless H5186 she had turned [H8804]   H6440 from me H2026 , surely now also I had slain [H8804]   H2421 thee, and saved her alive [H8689]  .
  34 H1109 And Balaam H559 said [H8799]   H4397 unto the angel H3068 of the LORD H2398 , I have sinned [H8804]   H3045 ; for I knew [H8804]   H5324 not that thou stoodest [H8737]   H1870 in the way H7125 against [H8800]   H7489 me: now therefore, if it displease thee [H8804]   H5869   H7725 , I will get me back again [H8799]  .
  35 H4397 And the angel H3068 of the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H3212 , Go [H8798]   H582 with the men H657 : but only H1697 the word H1696 that I shall speak [H8762]   H1696 unto thee, that thou shalt speak [H8762]   H1109 . So Balaam H3212 went [H8799]   H8269 with the princes H1111 of Balak.
  36 H1111 And when Balak H8085 heard [H8799]   H1109 that Balaam H935 was come [H8802]   H3318 , he went out [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H5892 him unto a city H4124 of Moab H1366 , which is in the border H769 of Arnon H7097 , which is in the utmost H1366 coast.
  37 H1111 And Balak H559 said [H8799]   H1109 unto Balaam H7971 , Did I not earnestly [H8800]   H7971 send [H8804]   H7121 unto thee to call [H8800]   H1980 thee? wherefore camest [H8804]   H3201 thou not unto me? am I not able [H8799]   H552 indeed H3513 to promote thee to honour [H8763]  ?
  38 H1109 And Balaam H559 said [H8799]   H1111 unto Balak H935 , Lo, I am come [H8804]   H3201 unto thee: have I now any power [H8799]   H3201 at all [H8800]   H1696 to say [H8763]   H3972 any thing H1697 ? the word H430 that God H7760 putteth [H8799]   H6310 in my mouth H1696 , that shall I speak [H8762]  .
  39 H1109 And Balaam H3212 went [H8799]   H1111 with Balak H935 , and they came [H8799]   H2351 unto Kirjathhuzoth H7155  .
  40 H1111 And Balak H2076 offered [H8799]   H1241 oxen H6629 and sheep H7971 , and sent [H8762]   H1109 to Balaam H8269 , and to the princes that were with him.
  41 H1242 And it came to pass on the morrow H1111 , that Balak H3947 took [H8799]   H1109 Balaam H5927 , and brought him up [H8686]   H1116 into the high places H1120 of Baal H7200 , that thence he might see [H8799]   H7097 the utmost H5971 part of the people.
ERV(i) 1 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. 2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. 5 And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6 come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. 8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying], 11 Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out. 12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. 13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. 15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: 17 for I will promote thee unto very great honour, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will speak unto me more. 20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men be come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do. 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 22 And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a hollow way between the vineyards, a fence being on this side, and a fence on that side. 25 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now I had killed thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. 31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. 32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me: 33 and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive. 34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. 35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. 36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto the City of Moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border. 37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? 38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. 39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kiriath-huzoth. 40 And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 41 And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
