Numbers, starting at chapter 22
{22:1} The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains
of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. {22:2} Balak the son of Zippor
saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. {22:3} Moab was very
afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed
because of the children of Israel. {22:4} Moab said to the elders of
Midian, Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the
ox licks up the grass of the field.
Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. {22:5} He
sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the
River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying,
Behold, there is a people who came out from Egypt. Behold, they cover
the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me. {22:6}
Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too
mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and
that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you
bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
{22:7} The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the
rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and
spoke to him the words of Balak. {22:8} He said to them, Lodge here
this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak
to me. The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. {22:9} God came to
Balaam, and said, Who are these men with you? {22:10} Balaam said to
God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me, {22:11}
'Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt, it covers the surface
of the earth: now, come curse me them; perhaps I shall be able to
fight against them, and shall drive them out.'
{22:12} God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them. You shall
not curse the people; for they are blessed.
{22:13} Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of
Balak, Go to your land; for the LORD refuses to permit me to go with
you.
{22:14} The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and
said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
{22:15} Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than
they. {22:16} They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak
the son of Zippor, 'Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:
{22:17} for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you
say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for
me.'
{22:18} Balaam answered the servants of Balak, If Balak would give
me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of
the LORD my God, to do less or more. {22:19} Now therefore, please
wait also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will speak to
me more.
{22:20} God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men
have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which
I speak to you, that you shall do.
{22:21} Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and
went with the princes of Moab. {22:22} God's anger was kindled because
he went; and the angel of the LORD placed himself in the way for an
adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two
servants were with him. {22:23} The donkey saw the angel of the LORD
standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey
turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam
struck the donkey, to turn her into the way. {22:24} Then the angel of
the LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on
this side, and a wall on that side. {22:25} The donkey saw the angel
of the LORD, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's
foot against the wall: and he struck her again.
{22:26} The angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow
place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to
the left. {22:27} The donkey saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay
down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the
donkey with his staff.
{22:28} The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to
Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three
times?
{22:29} Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, I
wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.
{22:30} The donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which
you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever in the
habit of doing so to you?
He said, No.
{22:31} Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the
angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his
hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. {22:32} The angel
of the LORD said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three
times? Behold, I have come forth as an adversary, because your way is
perverse before me: {22:33} and the donkey saw me, and turned aside
before me
