H1121
And the sons
H3478
of Israel
H5265 [H8799]
moved forward,
H2583 [H8799]
and encamped
H6160
in the plains
H4124
of Moab
H5676
on this side
H3383
of Jordan
H3405
by Jericho.
2
H1111
And Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H3478
all that Israel
H6213 [H8804]
had done
H567
to the Amorites.
3
H4124
And Moab
H3966
was greatly
H1481 [H8799]
afraid
H6440
of
H5971
the people,
H7227
because they were many:
H4124
and Moab
H6973 [H8799]
was distressed
H6440
because of
H1121
the sons
H3478
of Israel.
4
H4124
And Moab
H559 [H8799]
said
H2205
to the elders
H4080
of Midian,
H6951
Now shall this company
H3897 [H8762]
lick up
H5439
all that are around
H7794
us, as the ox
H3897 [H8800]
licketh up
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 [H8799]
He sent
H4397
messengers
H1109
therefore to Balaam
H1121
the son
H1160
of Beor
H6604
to Pethor,
H5104
which is by the river
H776
of the land
H1121
of the sons
H5971
of his people,
H7121 [H8800]
to call
H559 [H8800]
him, saying,
H5971
Behold, there hast a people
H3318 [H8804]
come out
H4714
from Egypt:
H3680 [H8765]
behold, they cover
H5869
the eye
H776
of the earth,
H3427 [H8802]
and they abide
H4136
opposite to me:
6
H3212 [H8798]
Come
H779 [H8798]
now therefore, I pray thee, curse
H5971
for me this people;
H6099
for they are too mighty
H3201 [H8799]
for me: perhaps I shall prevail,
H5221 [H8686]
that we may smite
H1644 [H8762]
them, and that I may drive them out
H776
of the land:
H3045 [H8804]
for I know
H1288 [H8762]
that he whom thou blessest
H1288 [H8794]
is blessed,
H779 [H8799]
and he whom thou cursest
H779 [H8714]
is cursed.
7
H2205
And the elders
H4124
of Moab
H2205
and the elders
H4080
of Midian
H3212 [H8799]
departed
H7081
with the rewards of divination
H3027
in their hand;
H935 [H8799]
and they came
H1109
to Balaam,
H1696 [H8762]
and spoke
H1697
to him the words
H1111
of Balak.
8
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3885 [H8798]
to them, Lodge
H3915
here this night,
H7725 0
and I will bring
H1697
you word
H7725 [H8689]
again,
H3068
as the LORD
H1696 [H8762]
shall speak
H8269
to me: and the princes
H4124
of Moab
H3427 [H8799]
abode
H1109
with Balaam.
9
H430
And God
H935 [H8799]
came
H1109
to Balaam,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H582
What men are these with thee?
10
H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H430
to God,
H1111
Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4428
king
H4124
of Moab,
H7971 [H8804]
hath sent to me, saying,
11
H5971
Behold, there hast a people
H3318 [H8802]
come out
H4714
of Egypt,
H3680 [H8762]
which covereth
H5869
the eye
H776
of the earth:
H3212 [H8798]
come
H6895 [H8798]
now, scoop them out
H3201 [H8799]
for me; perhaps I shall be able
H3898 [H8736]
to overcome
H1644 [H8765]
them, and drive them out.
12
H430
And God
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H3212 [H8799]
Thou shalt not go
H779 [H8799]
with them; thou shalt not curse
H5971
the people:
H1288 [H8803]
for they are blessed.
13
H1109
And Balaam
H6965 [H8799]
rose up
H1242
in the morning,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H8269
to the princes
H1111
of Balak,
H3212 [H8798]
Go back
H776
to your land:
H3068
for the LORD
H3985 [H8765]
refuseth
H5414 [H8800]
to give me leave
H1980 [H8800]
to go with you.
14
H8269
And the princes
H4124
of Moab
H6965 [H8799]
rose up,
H935 [H8799]
and they went
H1111
to Balak,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1109
Balaam
H3985 [H8765]
refuseth
H1980 [H8800]
to come with us.
15
H1111
And Balak
H7971 [H8800]
sent
H3254 [H8686]
yet again
H8269
princes,
H7227
more,
H3513 [H8737]
and more honourable than they.
16
H935 [H8799]
And they came
H1109
to Balaam,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H559 [H8804]
to him, Thus saith
H1111
Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4513 [H8735]
Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder
H1980 [H8800]
thee from coming to me:
17
H3513 0
For I will promote
H3966
thee to very
H3513 [H8763]
great
H3513 [H8762]
honour,
H6213 [H8799]
and I will do
H559 [H8799]
whatever thou sayest
H3212 [H8798]
to me: come
H6895 [H8798]
therefore, I pray thee, scoop out
H5971
this people for me.
18
H1109
And Balaam
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H5650
to the servants
H1111
of Balak,
H1111
If Balak
H5414 [H8799]
would give
H1004
me his house
H4393
full
H3701
of silver
H2091
and gold,
H3201 [H8799]
I could not
H5674 [H8800]
go beyond
H6310
the mouth
H3068
of the LORD
H430
my God,
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H6996
less
H1419
or more.
19
H3427 [H8798]
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry
H3915
ye also here this night,
H3045 [H8799]
that I may know
H3068
what the LORD
H1696 [H8763]
will say
H3254 [H8686]
to me more.
20
H430
And God
H935 [H8799]
came
H1109
to Balaam
H3915
at night,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H582
to him, If the men
H935 [H8804]
come
H7121 [H8800]
to call
H6965 [H8798]
thee, rise,
H3212 [H8798]
and go
H389
with them; but yet
H1697
the word
H1696 [H8762]
which I shall say
H6213 [H8799]
to thee, that shalt thou perform.
21
H1109
And Balaam
H6965 [H8799]
rose
H1242
in the morning,
H2280 [H8799]
and saddled
H860
his donkey,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H8269
with the princes
H4124
of Moab.
22
H430
And God's
H639
anger
H2734 [H8799]
was kindled
H1980 [H8802]
because he went:
H4397
and the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H3320 [H8691]
stood
H1870
in the way
H7854
for an adversary
H7392 [H8802]
against him. Now he was riding
H860
upon his donkey,
H8147
and his two
H5288
servants were with him.
23
H860
And the donkey
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H4397
the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H5324 [H8737]
standing
H1870
in the way,
H2719
and his sword
H8025 [H8803]
drawn
H3027
in his hand:
H860
and the donkey
H5186 [H8799]
turned aside
H1870
out of the way,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H7704
into the field:
H1109
and Balaam
H5221 [H8686]
smote
H860
the donkey,
H5186 [H8687]
to turn
H1870
her into the way.
24
H4397
But the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H5975 [H8799]
stood
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 donkey
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H4397
the messenger
H3068
of the LORD,
H3905 [H8735]
she thrust
H7023
herself against the wall,
H3905 [H8799]
and crushed
H1109
Balaam's
H7272
foot
H7023
against the wall:
H5221 [H8687]
and he smote
H3254 [H8686]
her again.
26
H4397
And the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H5674 [H8800]
went
H3254 [H8686]
further,
H5975 [H8799]
and stood
H6862
in a narrow
H4725
place,
H1870
where was no way
H5186 [H8800]
to turn
H3225
either to the right hand
H8040
or to the left.
27
H860
And when the donkey
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H4397
the messenger
H3068
of the LORD,
H7257 [H8799]
she fell down
H1109
under Balaam:
H1109
and Balaam's
H639
anger
H2734 [H8799]
was kindled,
H5221 [H8686]
and he smote
H860
the donkey
H4731
with a staff.
28
H3068
And the LORD
H6605 [H8799]
opened
H6310
the mouth
H860
of the donkey,
H559 [H8799]
and she said
H1109
to Balaam,
H6213 [H8804]
What have I done
H5221 [H8689]
to thee, that thou hast smitten
H7969
me these three
H7272
times?
29
H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H860
to the donkey,
H5953 [H8694]
Because thou hast mocked
H3863
me: I would
H3426
there were
H2719
a sword
H3027
in my hand,
H2026 [H8804]
for now would I kill thee.
30
H860
And the donkey
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H860
Am not I thy donkey,
H7392 [H8804]
upon which thou hast rid
H3117
ever since I was thine to this day?
H5532 [H8687]
was I ever
H5532 [H8689]
accustomed
H6213 [H8800]
to do so
H559 [H8799]
to thee? And he said, Nay.
31
H3068
Then the LORD
H1540 [H8762]
opened
H5869
the eyes
H1109
of Balaam,
H7200 [H8799]
and he saw
H4397
the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H5324 [H8737]
standing
H1870
in the way,
H2719
and his sword
H8025 [H8803]
drawn
H3027
in his hand:
H6915 [H8799]
and he bowed down
H7812 [H8691]
his head, and fell flat
H639
on his nose.
32
H4397
And the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H5221 [H8689]
to him, Why hast thou smitten
H860
thy donkey
H7969
these three
H7272
times?
H3318 [H8804]
behold, I went out
H7854
to withstand
H1870
thee, because thy way
H3399 [H8804]
is perverse before me:
33
H860
And the donkey
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H5186 [H8799]
me, and turned
H6440
from me
H7969
these three
H7272
times:
H194
unless
H5186 [H8804]
she had turned
H6440
from me,
H2026 [H8804]
surely now also I had slain
H2421 [H8689]
thee, and saved her alive.
34
H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H4397
to the messenger
H3068
of the LORD,
H2398 [H8804]
I have sinned;
H3045 [H8804]
for I knew
H5324 [H8737]
not that thou stoodest
H1870
in the way
H7125 [H8800]
against
H7489 H5869 [H8804]
me: now therefore, if it displease thee,
H7725 [H8799]
I will return again.
35
H4397
And the messenger
H3068
of the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H3212 [H8798]
Go
H582
with the men:
H657
but only
H1697
the word
H1696 [H8762]
that I shall speak
H1696 [H8762]
to thee, that thou shalt speak.
H1109
So Balaam
H3212 [H8799]
went
H8269
with the princes
H1111
of Balak.
36
H1111
And when Balak
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H1109
that Balaam
H935 [H8802]
had come,
H3318 [H8799]
he went out
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H5892
him to a city
H4124
of Moab,
H1366
which is in the border
H769
of Arnon,
H7097
which is in the utmost
H1366
border.
37
H1111
And Balak
H559 [H8799]
said
H1109
to Balaam,
H7971 [H8800]
Did I not earnestly
H7971 [H8804]
send
H7121 [H8800]
to thee to call
H1980 [H8804]
thee? why camest
H3201 [H8799]
thou not to me? am I not able
H552
indeed
H3513 [H8763]
to promote thee to honour?
38
H1109
And Balaam
H559 [H8799]
said
H1111
to Balak,
H935 [H8804]
Lo, I have come
H3201 [H8799]
to thee: have I now any power
H3201 [H8800]
at all
H1696 [H8763]
to say
H3972
any thing?
H1697
the word
H430
that God
H7760 [H8799]
putteth
H6310
in my mouth,
H1696 [H8762]
that shall I speak.
39
H1109
And Balaam
H3212 [H8799]
went
H1111
with Balak,
H935 [H8799]
and they came
H2351 H7155
to Kirjathhuzoth.
