(Num 22:1) And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan {by} Jericho.
(Num 22:2) And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
(Num 22:3) And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they {were} many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
(Num 22:4) And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all {that are} round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor {was} king of the Moabites at that time.
(Num 22:5) He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which {is} by the river of 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:
(Num 22:6) 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 wot that he whom thou blessest {is} blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
(Num 22:7) 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.
(Num 22:8) 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.
(Num 22:9) And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men {are} these with thee?
(Num 22:10) And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, {saying},
(Num 22:11) Behold, {there is} a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
(Num 22:12) And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they {are} blessed.
(Num 22:13) 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.
(Num 22:14) And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
(Num 22:15) And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
(Num 22:16) 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:
(Num 22:17) For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
(Num 22:18) 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.
(Num 22:19) Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will say unto me more.
(Num 22:20) And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, {and} go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
(Num 22:21) And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
(Num 22:22) And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants {were} with him.
(Num 22:23) And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and 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.
(Num 22:24) But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall {being} on this side, and a wall on that side.
(Num 22:25) And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
(Num 22:26) 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.
(Num 22:27) And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
(Num 22:28) 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?
(Num 22:29) And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
(Num 22:30) And the ass said unto Balaam, {Am} not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since {I was} thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
(Num 22:31) Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
(Num 22:32) And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because {thy} way is perverse before me:
(Num 22:33) And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
(Num 22:34) 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.
(Num 22:35) 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.
(Num 22:36) And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which {is} in the border of Arnon, which {is} in the utmost coast.
(Num 22:37) 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?
(Num 22:38) And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
(Num 22:39) And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
(Num 22:40) And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that {were} with him.
(Num 22:41) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost {part} of the people.
