Comeh3212h8798 now therefore, I pray thee, curseh779h8798 me this peopleh5971; for they are too mightyh6099 for me: peradventure I shall prevailh3201h8799, that we may smiteh5221h8686 them, and that I may drive them outh1644h8762 of the landh776: for I woth3045h8804 that he whom thou blessesth1288h8762 is blessedh1288h8794, and he whom thou cursesth779h8799 is cursedh779h8714.

And Balaamh1109 saidh559h8799 unto Godh430, Balakh1111 the sonh1121 of Zipporh6834, kingh4428 of Moabh4124, hath senth7971h8804 unto me, saying ,

11

Behold, there is a peopleh5971 come outh3318h8802 of Egypth4714, which coverethh3680h8762 the faceh5869 of the earthh776: comeh3212h8798 now, curseh6895h8798 me them; peradventure I shall be ableh3201h8799 to overcomeh3898h8736 them, and drive them outh1644h8765. I shall...: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him

12

And Godh430 saidh559h8799 unto Balaamh1109, Thou shalt not goh3212h8799 with them; thou shalt not curseh779h8799 the peopleh5971: for they are blessedh1288h8803.

13

And Balaamh1109 rose uph6965h8799 in the morningh1242, and saidh559h8799 unto the princesh8269 of Balakh1111, Geth3212h8798 you into your landh776: for the LORDh3068 refusethh3985h8765 to give me leaveh5414h8800 to goh1980h8800 with you.

14

And the princesh8269 of Moabh4124 rose uph6965h8799, and they wenth935h8799 unto Balakh1111, and saidh559h8799, Balaamh1109 refusethh3985h8765 to comeh1980h8800 with us.

And Balakh1111 senth7971h8800 yet againh3254h8686 princesh8269, moreh7227, and more honourableh3513h8737 than they.

16

And they cameh935h8799 to Balaamh1109, and saidh559h8799 to him, Thus saithh559h8804 Balakh1111 the sonh1121 of Zipporh6834, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinderh4513h8735 thee from comingh1980h8800 unto me: Let...: Heb. Be not thou hindered from, etc

For I will promoteh3513 thee unto veryh3966 greath3513h8763 honourh3513h8762, and I will doh6213h8799 whatsoever thou sayesth559h8799 unto me: comeh3212h8798 therefore, I pray thee, curseh6895h8798 me this peopleh5971.

18

And Balaamh1109 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 unto the servantsh5650 of Balakh1111, If Balakh1111 would giveh5414h8799 me his househ1004 fullh4393 of silverh3701 and goldh2091, I cannoth3201h8799 go beyondh5674h8800 the wordh6310 of the LORDh3068 my Godh430, to doh6213h8800 lessh6996 or moreh1419.

19

Now therefore, I pray you, tarryh3427h8798 ye also here this nighth3915, that I may knowh3045h8799 what the LORDh3068 will sayh1696h8763 unto me moreh3254h8686.

20

And Godh430 cameh935h8799 unto Balaamh1109 at nighth3915, and saidh559h8799 unto him, If the menh582 comeh935h8804 to callh7121h8800 thee, rise uph6965h8798, and goh3212h8798 with them; but yeth389 the wordh1697 which I shall sayh1696h8762 unto thee, that shalt thou doh6213h8799.

21

And Balaamh1109 rose uph6965h8799 in the morningh1242, and saddledh2280h8799 his assh860, and wenth3212h8799 with the princesh8269 of Moabh4124.

22

And God'sh430 angerh639 was kindledh2734h8799 because he wenth1980h8802: and the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 stoodh3320h8691 in the wayh1870 for an adversaryh7854 against him. Now he was ridingh7392h8802 upon his assh860, and his twoh8147 servantsh5288 were with him.

23

And the assh860 sawh7200h8799 the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 standingh5324h8737 in the wayh1870, and his swordh2719 drawnh8025h8803 in his handh3027: and the assh860 turned asideh5186h8799 out of the wayh1870, and wenth3212h8799 into the fieldh7704: and Balaamh1109 smoteh5221h8686 the assh860, to turnh5186h8687 her into the wayh1870.

24

But the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 stoodh5975h8799 in a pathh4934 of the vineyardsh3754, a wallh1447 being on this side, and a wallh1447 on that side.

25

And when the assh860 sawh7200h8799 the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068, she thrusth3905h8735 herself unto the wallh7023, and crushedh3905h8799 Balaam'sh1109 footh7272 against the wallh7023: and he smoteh5221h8687 her againh3254h8686.

26

And the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 wenth5674h8800 furtherh3254h8686, and stoodh5975h8799 in a narrowh6862 placeh4725, where was no wayh1870 to turnh5186h8800 either to the right handh3225 or to the lefth8040.

27

And when the assh860 sawh7200h8799 the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068, she fell downh7257h8799 under Balaamh1109: and Balaam'sh1109 angerh639 was kindledh2734h8799, and he smoteh5221h8686 the assh860 with a staffh4731.

28

And the LORDh3068 openedh6605h8799 the mouthh6310 of the assh860, and she saidh559h8799 unto Balaamh1109, What have I doneh6213h8804 unto thee, that thou hast smittenh5221h8689 me these threeh7969 timesh7272?

29

And Balaamh1109 saidh559h8799 unto the assh860, Because thou hast mockedh5953h8694 me: I wouldh3863 there wereh3426 a swordh2719 in mine handh3027, for now would I killh2026h8804 thee.

30

And the assh860 saidh559h8799 unto Balaamh1109, Am not I thine assh860, upon which thou hast riddenh7392h8804 ever since I was thine unto this dayh3117? was I everh5532h8687 wonth5532h8689 to do soh6213h8800 unto thee? And he saidh559h8799, Nay. upon...: Heb. who hast ridden upon me
ever since...: or, ever since thou wast, etc

31

Then the LORDh3068 openedh1540h8762 the eyesh5869 of Balaamh1109, and he sawh7200h8799 the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 standingh5324h8737 in the wayh1870, and his swordh2719 drawnh8025h8803 in his handh3027: and he bowed downh6915h8799 his head, and fell flath7812h8691 on his faceh639. fell...: or, bowed himself

32

And the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smittenh5221h8689 thine assh860 these threeh7969 timesh7272? behold, I went outh3318h8804 to withstandh7854 thee, because thy wayh1870 is perverseh3399h8804 before me: to...: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee

33

And the assh860 sawh7200h8799 me, and turnedh5186h8799 from meh6440 these threeh7969 timesh7272: unlessh194 she had turnedh5186h8804 from meh6440, surely now also I had slainh2026h8804 thee, and saved her aliveh2421h8689.

34

And Balaamh1109 saidh559h8799 unto the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068, I have sinnedh2398h8804; for I knewh3045h8804 not that thou stoodesth5324h8737 in the wayh1870 againsth7125h8800 me: now therefore, if it displease theeh7489h8804h5869, I will get me back againh7725h8799. displease...: Heb. be evil in thine eyes

35

And the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Balaamh1109, Goh3212h8798 with the menh582: but onlyh657 the wordh1697 that I shall speakh1696h8762 unto thee, that thou shalt speakh1696h8762. So Balaamh1109 wenth3212h8799 with the princesh8269 of Balakh1111.

36

And when Balakh1111 heardh8085h8799 that Balaamh1109 was comeh935h8802, he went outh3318h8799 to meeth7125h8800 him unto a cityh5892 of Moabh4124, which is in the borderh1366 of Arnonh769, which is in the utmosth7097 coasth1366.

37

And Balakh1111 saidh559h8799 unto Balaamh1109, Did I not earnestlyh7971h8800 sendh7971h8804 unto thee to callh7121h8800 thee? wherefore camesth1980h8804 thou not unto me? am I not ableh3201h8799 indeedh552 to promote thee to honourh3513h8763?

38

And Balaamh1109 saidh559h8799 unto Balakh1111, Lo, I am comeh935h8804 unto thee: have I now any powerh3201h8799 at allh3201h8800 to sayh1696h8763 any thingh3972? the wordh1697 that Godh430 puttethh7760h8799 in my mouthh6310, that shall I speakh1696h8762.

39

And Balaamh1109 wenth3212h8799 with Balakh1111, and they cameh935h8799 unto Kirjathhuzothh2351h7155. Kirjathhuzoth: or, a city of streets

40

And Balakh1111 offeredh2076h8799 oxenh1241 and sheeph6629, and senth7971h8762 to Balaamh1109, and to the princesh8269 that were with him.

41

And it came to pass on the morrowh1242, that Balakh1111 tookh3947h8799 Balaamh1109, and brought him uph5927h8686 into the high placesh1116 of Baalh1120, that thence he might seeh7200h8799 the utmosth7097 part of the peopleh5971.
