H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H5265
traveled,
H2583
and encamped
H6160
in the plains
H4124
of Moab
H5676
beyond
H3383
the Jordan
H3405
at Jericho.
2
H1111
Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor
H7200
saw
H3478
all that Israel
H6213
had done
H567
to the Amorites.
3
H4124
Moab
H3966
was very
H1481
afraid
H6440
of
H5971
the people,
H7227
because they were many:
H4124
and Moab
H6973
was distressed
H6440
because of
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
4
H4124
Moab
H559
said
H2205
to the elders
H4080
of Midian,
H6951
"Now this multitude
H3897
will lick up
H5439
all that is around
H7794
us, as the ox
H3897
licks up
H3418
the grass
H7704
of the field."
H1111
Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor
H4428
was king
H4124
of Moab
H6256
at that time.
5
H7971
He sent
H4397
messengers
H1109
to Balaam
H1121
the son
H1160
of Beor,
H6604
to Pethor,
H5104
which is by the River,
H776
to the land
H1121
of the children
H5971
of his people,
H7121
to call
H559
him, saying,
H5971
"Behold, there is a people
H3318
who came out
H4714
from Egypt.
H3680
Behold, they cover
H5869
the surface
H776
of the earth,
H3427
and they are staying
H4136
opposite me.
6
H3212
Please come
H779
now therefore curse
H5971
me this people;
H6099
for they are too mighty
H3201
for me: perhaps I shall prevail,
H5221
that we may strike
H1644
them, and that I may drive them out
H776
of the land;
H3045
for I know
H1288
that he whom you bless
H1288
is blessed,
H779
and he whom you curse
H779
is cursed."
7
H2205
The elders
H4124
of Moab
H2205
and the elders
H4080
of Midian
H3212
departed
H7081
with the rewards of divination
H3027
in their hand;
H935
and they came
H1109
to Balaam,
H1696
and spoke
H1697
to him the words
H1111
of Balak.
8
H559
He said
H3885
to them, "Lodge
H3915
here this night,
H7725
and I will bring
H1697
you word
H7725
again,
H3068
as Yahweh
H1696
shall speak
H8269
to me." The princes
H4124
of Moab
H3427
stayed
H1109
with Balaam.
10
H1109
Balaam
H559
said
H430
to God,
H1111
"Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4428
king
H4124
of Moab,
H7971
has said to me,
11
H5971
‘Behold, the people
H3318
that has come out
H4714
of Egypt,
H3680
it covers
H5869
the surface
H776
of the earth:
H3212
now, come
H6895
curse
H3201
me them; perhaps I shall be able
H3898
to fight against
H1644
them, and shall drive them out.'"
12
H430
God
H559
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H3212
"You shall not go
H779
with them. You shall not curse
H5971
the people;
H1288
for they are blessed."
13
H1109
Balaam
H6965
rose up
H1242
in the morning,
H559
and said
H8269
to the princes
H1111
of Balak,
H3212
"Go
H776
to your land;
H3068
for Yahweh
H3985
refuses
H5414
to permit
H1980
me to go with you."
14
H8269
The princes
H4124
of Moab
H6965
rose up,
H935
and they went
H1111
to Balak,
H559
and said,
H1109
"Balaam
H3985
refuses
H1980
to come with us."
15
H1111
Balak
H7971
sent
H3254
yet again
H8269
princes,
H7227
more,
H3513
and more honorable than they.
16
H935
They came
H1109
to Balaam,
H559
and said
H559
to him, "Thus says
H1111
Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4513
‘Please let nothing hinder
H1980
you from coming to me:
17
H3513
for I will promote
H3966
you to very
H3513
great
H3513
honor,
H559
and whatever you say
H6213
to me I will do.
H3212
Please come
H6895
therefore, and curse
H5971
this people for me.'"
18
H1109
Balaam
H6030
answered
H5650
the servants
H1111
of Balak,
H1111
"If Balak
H5414
would give
H1004
me his house
H4393
full
H3701
of silver
H2091
and gold,
H3201
I can't
H5674
go beyond
H6310
the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
my God,
H6213
to do
H6996
less
H1419
or more.
19
H3427
Now therefore, please wait
H3915
also here this night,
H3045
that I may know
H3068
what Yahweh
H1696
will speak
H3254
to me more."
20
H430
God
H935
came
H1109
to Balaam
H3915
at night,
H559
and said
H582
to him, "If the men
H935
have come
H7121
to call
H6965
you, rise up,
H3212
go
H389
with them; but
H1697
only the word
H1696
which I speak
H6213
to you, that you shall do."
21
H1109
Balaam
H6965
rose up
H1242
in the morning,
H2280
and saddled
H860
his donkey,
H3212
and went
H8269
with the princes
H4124
of Moab.
22
H430
God's
H639
anger
H2734
was kindled
H1980
because he went;
H4397
and the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H3320
placed
H1870
himself in the way
H7854
for an adversary
H7392
against him. Now he was riding
H860
on his donkey,
H8147
and his two
H5288
servants were with him.
23
H860
The donkey
H7200
saw
H4397
the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H5324
standing
H1870
in the way,
H2719
with his sword
H8025
drawn
H3027
in his hand;
H860
and the donkey
H5186
turned aside
H1870
out of the way,
H3212
and went
H7704
into the field:
H1109
and Balaam
H5221
struck
H860
the donkey,
H5186
to turn
H1870
her into the way.
24
H4397
Then the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H5975
stood
H4934
in a narrow path
H3754
between the vineyards,
H1447
a wall
H1447
being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25
H860
The donkey
H7200
saw
H4397
the angel
H3068
of Yahweh,
H3905
and she thrust
H7023
herself to the wall,
H3905
and crushed
H1109
Balaam's
H7272
foot
H7023
against the wall:
H5221
and he struck
H3254
her again.
26
H4397
The angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H5674
went
H3254
further,
H5975
and stood
H6862
in a narrow
H4725
place,
H1870
where there was no way
H5186
to turn
H3225
either to the right hand
H8040
or to the left.
27
H860
The donkey
H7200
saw
H4397
the angel
H3068
of Yahweh,
H7257
and she lay down
H1109
under Balaam:
H1109
and Balaam's
H639
anger
H2734
was kindled,
H5221
and he struck
H860
the donkey
H4731
with his staff.
28
H3068
Yahweh
H6605
opened
H6310
the mouth
H860
of the donkey,
H559
and she said
H1109
to Balaam,
H6213
"What have I done
H5221
to you, that you have struck
H7969
me these three
H7272
times?"
29
H1109
Balaam
H559
said
H860
to the donkey,
H5953
"Because you have mocked
H3863
me, I wish
H3426
there were
H2719
a sword
H3027
in my hand,
H2026
for now I would have killed you."
30
H860
The donkey
H559
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H860
"Am I not your donkey,
H7392
on which you have ridden
H3117
all your life long to this day?
H5532
Was I ever
H5532
in the habit
H6213
of doing so
H559
to you?" He said, "No."
31
H3068
Then Yahweh
H1540
opened
H5869
the eyes
H1109
of Balaam,
H7200
and he saw
H4397
the angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H5324
standing
H1870
in the way,
H2719
with his sword
H8025
drawn
H3027
in his hand;
H6915
and he bowed
H7812
his head, and fell
H639
on his face.
32
H4397
The angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H559
said
H5221
to him, "Why have you struck
H860
your donkey
H7969
these three
H7272
times?
H3318
Behold, I have come forth
H7854
as an adversary,
H1870
because your way
H3399
is perverse before me:
33
H860
and the donkey
H7200
saw
H5186
me, and turned
H6440
aside before me
H7969
these three
H7272
times.
H194
Unless
H5186
she had turned
H6440
aside from me,
H2026
surely now I would have killed
H2421
you, and saved her alive."
34
H1109
Balaam
H559
said
H4397
to the angel
H3068
of Yahweh,
H2398
"I have sinned;
H3045
for I didn't know
H5324
that you stood
H1870
in the way
H7125
against
H7489
me. Now therefore, if it displeases you,
H7725
I will go back again."
35
H4397
The angel
H3068
of Yahweh
H559
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H3212
"Go
H582
with the men;
H657
but only
H1697
the word
H1696
that I shall speak
H1696
to you, that you shall speak."
H1109
So Balaam
H3212
went
H8269
with the princes
H1111
of Balak.
36
H1111
When Balak
H8085
heard
H1109
that Balaam
H935
had come,
H3318
he went out
H7125
to meet
H5892
him to the City
H4124
of Moab,
H1366
which is on the border
H769
of the Arnon,
H7097
which is in the utmost
H1366
part of the border.
37
H1111
Balak
H559
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H7971
"Didn't I earnestly
H7971
send
H7121
to you to call
H1980
you? Why didn't you come
H3201
to me? Am I not able
H552
indeed
H3513
to promote you to honor?"
38
H1109
Balaam
H559
said
H1111
to Balak,
H935
"Behold, I have come
H3201
to you: have I now any power
H3201
at all
H1696
to speak
H3972
anything?
H1697
The word
H430
that God
H7760
puts
H6310
in my mouth,
H1696
that shall I speak."
