Numbers 22:4-6 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now the crowd will lick up all around us, like a bull devours the grass of the field." And Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now the crowd will lick up all around us, like a bull devours the grass of the field." And Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. ⁵ He sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the river,* in the land of the children of his people, to summon him, saying, "Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover _⌊the surface of the land_⌋;* they are about to dwell opposite me. ⁶ Now, please go, curse this people for me because they* are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them* and drive them* out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed."
