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."

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.
