Numbers 22

1 Balak's first message for Balaam is refused. 15 His second message obtaineth him. 22 An angel would have slain him, if his ass had not saved him. 36 Balak entertaineth him.

 22:1 ¶ And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 set forward, 5265 z8799 and pitched 2583 z8799 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 on this side 5676 x4480 Jordan 3383 [by] Jericho. 3405

 22:2 ¶ And Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834 saw 7200 z8799 x853 all x3605 that x834 Israel 3478 had done 6213 z8804 to the Amorites. 567

 22:3 And Moab 4124 was sore y3966 afraid 1481 z8799 x3966 of 6440 x4480 the people, 5971 because x3588 they x1931 [were] many: 7227 and Moab 4124 was distressed 6973 z8799 because x4480 x6440 of y6440 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 22:4 And Moab 4124 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the elders 2205 of Midian, 4080 Now x6258 shall this company 6951 lick up 3897 z8762 x853 all x3605 [that are] round about 5439 us, as the ox 7794 licketh up 3897 z8800 x853 the grass 3418 of the field. 7704 And Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834 [was] king 4428 of the Moabites 4124 at that x1931 time. 6256

 22:5 He sent 7971 z8799 messengers 4397 therefore unto x413 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 to Pethor, 6604 which x834 [is] by x5921 the river 5104 of the land 776 of the children 1121 of his people, 5971 to call 7121 z8800 him, saying, 559 z8800 Behold, x2009 there is a people 5971 come out 3318 z8804 from Egypt: 4714 x4480 behold, x2009 they cover 3680 z8765 x853 the face 5869 of the earth, 776 and they x1931 abide 3427 z8802 over against 4136 x4480 me:

 22:6 Come y3212 z8798 x1980 now x6258 therefore, I pray thee, x4994 curse 779 z8798 me x853 this x2088 people; 5971 for x3588 they x1931 [are] too mighty y6099 for x6099 x4480 me: peradventure x194 I shall prevail, 3201 z8799 [that] we may smite 5221 z8686 them, and [that] I may drive them out 1644 z8762 of x4480 the land: 776 for x3588 I wot 3045 z8804 x853 that he whom x834 thou blessest 1288 z8762 [is] blessed, 1288 z8794 and he whom x834 thou cursest 779 z8799 is cursed. 779 z8714

 22:7 And the elders 2205 of Moab 4124 and the elders 2205 of Midian 4080 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 with the rewards of divination 7081 in their hand; 3027 and they came 935 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 and spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 him the words 1697 of Balak. 1111

 22:8 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Lodge 3885 z8798 here x6311 this night, 3915 and I will bring 7725 z0 you word 1697 again, y7725 z8689 as x834 Yahweh 3068 shall speak 1696 z8762 unto x413 me: and the princes 8269 of Moab 4124 abode 3427 z8799 with x5973 Balaam. 1109

 22:9 And Elohim 430 came 935 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 and said, 559 z8799 What x4310 men y582 x376 [are] these x428 with x5973 thee?

 22:10 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Elohim, 430 Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor, 6834 king 4428 of Moab, 4124 hath sent 7971 z8804 unto x413 me, [saying],

 22:11 Behold, x2009 [there is] a people 5971 come out 3318 z8802 of Egypt, 4714 x4480 which covereth 3680 z8762 x853 the face 5869 of the earth: 776 come y3212 z8798 x1980 now, x6258 curse 6895 z8798 me them; peradventure x194 I shall be able 3201 z8799 to overcome 3898 z8736 them, and drive them out. 1644 z8765

 22:12 And Elohim 430 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 Thou shalt not x3808 go y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 them; thou shalt not x3808 curse 779 z8799 x853 the people: 5971 for x3588 they x1931 [are] blessed. 1288 z8803

 22:13 And Balaam 1109 rose up 6965 z8799 in the morning, 1242 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 the princes 8269 of Balak, 1111 Get y3212 z8798 x1980 you into x413 your land: 776 for x3588 Yahweh 3068 refuseth 3985 z8765 to give me leave 5414 z8800 to go 1980 z8800 with x5973 you.

 22:14 And the princes 8269 of Moab 4124 rose up, 6965 z8799 and they went 935 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 and said, 559 z8799 Balaam 1109 refuseth 3985 z8765 to come 1980 z8800 with x5973 us.

 22:15 ¶ And Balak 1111 sent 7971 z8800 yet x5750 again 3254 z8686 princes, 8269 more, 7227 and more honourable 3513 z8737 than they. x4480 x428

 22:16 And they came 935 z8799 to x413 Balaam, 1109 and said 559 z8799 to him, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor, 6834 Let nothing, x408 I pray thee, x4994 hinder 4513 z8735 thee from coming 1980 z8800 x4480 unto x413 me:

 22:17 For x3588 I will promote y3513 z0 thee unto very y3966 great y3513 z8763 honour, 3513 z8762 x3966 and I will do 6213 z8799 whatsoever x3605 x834 thou sayest 559 z8799 unto x413 me: come y3212 z8798 x1980 therefore, I pray thee, x4994 curse 6895 z8798 me x853 this x2088 people. 5971

 22:18 And Balaam 1109 answered 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 the servants 5650 of Balak, 1111 If x518 Balak 1111 would give 5414 z8799 me his house 1004 full 4393 of silver 3701 and gold, 2091 I cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 go beyond 5674 z8800 x853 the word 6310 of Yahweh 3068 my Elohim, 430 to do 6213 z8800 less 6996 or x176 more. 1419

 22:19 Now x6258 therefore, I pray you, x4994 tarry 3427 z8798 ye x859 also x1571 here x2088 this night, 3915 that I may know 3045 z8799 what x4100 Yahweh 3068 will say 1696 z8763 unto x5973 me more. 3254 z8686

 22:20 And Elohim 430 came 935 z8799 unto x413 Balaam 1109 at night, 3915 and said 559 z8799 unto him, If x518 the men y582 x376 come 935 z8804 to call 7121 z8800 thee, rise up, 6965 z8798 [and] go y3212 z8798 x1980 with x854 them; but yet 389 x853 the word 1697 which x834 I shall say 1696 z8762 unto x413 thee, that shalt thou do. 6213 z8799

 22:21 And Balaam 1109 rose up 6965 z8799 in the morning, 1242 and saddled 2280 z8799 x853 his ass, 860 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 the princes 8269 of Moab. 4124

 22:22 ¶ And Elohim's 430 anger 639 was kindled 2734 z8799 because x3588 he x1931 went: 1980 z8802 and the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 stood 3320 z8691 in the way 1870 for an adversary 7854 against him. Now he x1931 was riding 7392 z8802 upon x5921 his ass, 860 and his two 8147 servants 5288 [were] with x5973 him.

 22:23 And the ass 860 saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 standing 5324 z8737 in the way, 1870 and his sword 2719 drawn 8025 z8803 in his hand: 3027 and the ass 860 turned aside 5186 z8799 out of x4480 the way, 1870 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 into the field: 7704 and Balaam 1109 smote 5221 z8686 x853 the ass, 860 to turn 5186 z8687 her into the way. 1870

 22:24 But the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 stood 5975 z8799 in a path 4934 of the vineyards, 3754 a wall 1447 [being] on this side, x4480 x2088 and a wall 1447 on that side. x4480 x2088

 22:25 And when the ass 860 saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel 4397 of Yahweh, 3068 she thrust y3905 z8735 herself x3905 unto x413 the wall, 7023 and crushed 3905 z8799 x853 Balaam's 1109 foot 7272 against x413 the wall: 7023 and he smote 5221 z8687 her again. 3254 z8686

 22:26 And the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 went 5674 z8800 further, 3254 z8686 and stood 5975 z8799 in a narrow 6862 place, 4725 where x834 [was] no x369 way 1870 to turn 5186 z8800 either to the right hand 3225 or to the left. 8040

 22:27 And when the ass 860 saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel 4397 of Yahweh, 3068 she fell down 7257 z8799 under x8478 Balaam: 1109 and Balaam's 1109 anger 639 was kindled, 2734 z8799 and he smote 5221 z8686 x853 the ass 860 with a staff. 4731

 22:28 And Yahweh 3068 opened 6605 z8799 x853 the mouth 6310 of the ass, 860 and she said 559 z8799 unto Balaam, 1109 What x4100 have I done 6213 z8804 unto thee, that x3588 thou hast smitten 5221 z8689 me these x2088 three 7969 times? 7272

 22:29 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto the ass, 860 Because x3588 thou hast mocked 5953 z8694 me: I would 3863 there were 3426 a sword 2719 in mine hand, 3027 for x3588 now x6258 would I kill 2026 z8804 thee.

 22:30 And the ass 860 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 [Am] not x3808 I x595 thine ass, 860 upon x5921 which x834 thou hast ridden 7392 z8804 ever since x4480 x5750 [I was] thine unto x5704 this x2088 day? 3117 was I ever y5532 z8687 wont 5532 z8689 to do x6213 so y6213 z8800 x3541 unto thee? And he said, 559 z8799 Nay. x3808

 22:31 Then Yahweh 3068 opened 1540 z8762 x853 the eyes 5869 of Balaam, 1109 and he saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 standing 5324 z8737 in the way, 1870 and his sword 2719 drawn 8025 z8803 in his hand: 3027 and he bowed down y6915 z8799 his head, x6915 and fell flat 7812 z8691 on his face. 639

 22:32 And the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Wherefore x5921 x4100 hast thou smitten 5221 z8689 x853 thine ass 860 these x2088 three 7969 times? 7272 behold, x2009 I x595 went out 3318 z8804 to withstand 7854 thee, because x3588 [thy] way 1870 is perverse 3399 z8804 before x5048 me:

 22:33 And the ass 860 saw 7200 z8799 me, and turned 5186 z8799 from x6440 me y6440 these x2088 three 7969 times: 7272 unless 194 she had turned 5186 z8804 from x4480 x6440 me, y6440 surely x3588 now x6258 also x1571 I had slain 2026 z8804 thee, and saved her alive. 2421 z8689 x853

 22:34 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the angel 4397 of Yahweh, 3068 I have sinned; 2398 z8804 for x3588 I knew 3045 z8804 not x3808 that x3588 thou x859 stoodest 5324 z8737 in the way 1870 against 7125 z8800 me: now x6258 therefore, if x518 it displease x7489 x5869 thee, y7489 z8804 y5869 I will get me back again. 7725 z8799

 22:35 And the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 with x5973 the men: y582 x376 but only 657 x853 the word 1697 that x834 I shall speak 1696 z8762 unto x413 thee, that thou shalt speak. 1696 z8762 So Balaam 1109 went y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 the princes 8269 of Balak. 1111

 22:36 ¶ And when Balak 1111 heard 8085 z8799 that x3588 Balaam 1109 was come, 935 z8802 he went out 3318 z8799 to meet 7125 z8800 him unto x413 a city 5892 of Moab, 4124 which x834 [is] in x5921 the border 1366 of Arnon, 769 which x834 [is] in the utmost 7097 coast. 1366

 22:37 And Balak 1111 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balaam, 1109 Did I not x3808 earnestly y7971 z8800 send 7971 z8804 unto x413 thee to call 7121 z8800 thee? wherefore x4100 camest 1980 z8804 thou not x3808 unto x413 me? am I not able 3201 z8799 x3808 indeed 552 to promote thee to honour? 3513 z8763

 22:38 And Balaam 1109 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Balak, 1111 Lo, x2009 I am come 935 z8804 unto x413 thee: have I now x6258 any power y3201 z8799 at all 3201 z8800 to say 1696 z8763 any thing? 3972 the word 1697 that x834 Elohim 430 putteth 7760 z8799 in my mouth, 6310 that shall I speak. 1696 z8762

 22:39 And Balaam 1109 went y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 Balak, 1111 and they came 935 z8799 unto Kirjathhuzoth. 7155 y2351

 22:40 And Balak 1111 offered 2076 z8799 oxen 1241 and sheep, 6629 and sent 7971 z8762 to Balaam, 1109 and to the princes 8269 that x834 [were] with x854 him.

 22:41 And it came to pass x1961 on the morrow, 1242 that Balak 1111 took 3947 z8799 x853 Balaam, 1109 and brought him up 5927 z8686 into the high places 1116 of Baal, y1120 x1168 that thence x4480 x8033 he might see 7200 z8799 the utmost 7097 [part] of the people. 5971
