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.
