And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 set forwardH5265, and pitchedH2583 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 by JerichoH3405.
And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 sawH7200 all that IsraelH3478 had doneH6213 to the AmoritesH567.
And MoabH4124 was soreH3966 afraidH1481 ofH6440 the peopleH5971, because they were manyH7227: and MoabH4124 was distressedH6973 because ofH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And MoabH4124 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, Now shall this companyH6951 lick upH3897 all that are round aboutH5439 us, as the oxH7794 licketh upH3897 the grassH3418 of the fieldH7704. And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of the MoabitesH4124 at that timeH6256.
He sentH7971 messengersH4397 therefore unto BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to PethorH6604, which is by the riverH5104 of the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, Behold, there is a peopleH5971 come outH3318 from EgyptH4714: behold, they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, and they abideH3427 over againstH4136 me: {face: Heb. eye}
ComeH3212 now therefore, I pray thee, curseH779 me this peopleH5971; for they are too mightyH6099 for me: peradventure I shall prevailH3201, that we may smiteH5221 them, and that I may drive them outH1644 of the landH776: for I wotH3045 that he whom thou blessestH1288 is blessedH1288, and he whom thou cursestH779 is cursedH779.
And the eldersH2205 of MoabH4124 and the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080 departedH3212 with the rewards of divinationH7081 in their handH3027; and they cameH935 unto BalaamH1109, and spakeH1696 unto him the wordsH1697 of BalakH1111.
And he saidH559 unto them, LodgeH3885 here this nightH3915, and I will bringH7725 you wordH1697 againH7725, as the LORDH3068 shall speakH1696 unto me: and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 abodeH3427 with BalaamH1109.
And GodH430 cameH935 unto BalaamH1109, and saidH559, What menH582 are these with thee?
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto GodH430, BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, hath sentH7971 unto me, saying,
Behold, there is a peopleH5971 come outH3318 of EgyptH4714, which coverethH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776: comeH3212 now, curseH6895 me them; peradventure I shall be ableH3201 to overcomeH3898 them, and drive them outH1644. {I shall…: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Thou shalt not goH3212 with them; thou shalt not curseH779 the peopleH5971: for they are blessedH1288.
And BalaamH1109 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and saidH559 unto the princesH8269 of BalakH1111, GetH3212 you into your landH776: for the LORDH3068 refusethH3985 to give me leaveH5414 to goH1980 with you.
And the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 rose upH6965, and they wentH935 unto BalakH1111, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 refusethH3985 to comeH1980 with us.
And BalakH1111 sentH7971 yet againH3254 princesH8269, moreH7227, and more honourableH3513 than they.
And they cameH935 to BalaamH1109, and saidH559 to him, Thus saithH559 BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinderH4513 thee from comingH1980 unto me: {Let…: Heb. Be not thou hindered from, etc}
For I will promoteH3513 thee unto veryH3966 greatH3513 honourH3513, and I will doH6213 whatsoever thou sayestH559 unto me: comeH3212 therefore, I pray thee, curseH6895 me this peopleH5971.
And BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the servantsH5650 of BalakH1111, If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, to doH6213 lessH6996 or moreH1419.
Now therefore, I pray you, tarryH3427 ye also here this nightH3915, that I may knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 will sayH1696 unto me moreH3254.
And GodH430 cameH935 unto BalaamH1109 at nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, If the menH582 comeH935 to callH7121 thee, rise upH6965, and goH3212 with them; but yetH389 the wordH1697 which I shall sayH1696 unto thee, that shalt thou doH6213.
And BalaamH1109 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH860, and wentH3212 with the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.
And God'sH430 angerH639 was kindledH2734 because he wentH1980: and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH3320 in the wayH1870 for an adversaryH7854 against him. Now he was ridingH7392 upon his assH860, and his twoH8147 servantsH5288 were with him.
And the assH860 sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870, and his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and the assH860 turned asideH5186 out of the wayH1870, and wentH3212 into the fieldH7704: and BalaamH1109 smoteH5221 the assH860, to turnH5186 her into the wayH1870.
But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 in a pathH4934 of the vineyardsH3754, a wallH1447 being on this side, and a wallH1447 on that side.
And when the assH860 sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, she thrustH3905 herself unto the wallH7023, and crushedH3905 Balaam'sH1109 footH7272 against the wallH7023: and he smoteH5221 her againH3254.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 wentH5674 furtherH3254, and stoodH5975 in a narrowH6862 placeH4725, where was no wayH1870 to turnH5186 either to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And when the assH860 sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, she fell downH7257 under BalaamH1109: and Balaam'sH1109 angerH639 was kindledH2734, and he smoteH5221 the assH860 with a staffH4731.
And the LORDH3068 openedH6605 the mouthH6310 of the assH860, and she saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, What have I doneH6213 unto thee, that thou hast smittenH5221 me these threeH7969 timesH7272?
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the assH860, Because thou hast mockedH5953 me: I wouldH3863 there wereH3426 a swordH2719 in mine handH3027, for now would I killH2026 thee.
And the assH860 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Am not I thine assH860, upon which thou hast riddenH7392 ever since I was thine unto this dayH3117? was I everH5532 wontH5532 to do soH6213 unto thee? And he saidH559, Nay. {upon…: Heb. who hast ridden upon me} {ever since…: or, ever since thou wast, etc}
Then the LORDH3068 openedH1540 the eyesH5869 of BalaamH1109, and he sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standingH5324 in the wayH1870, and his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and he bowed downH6915 his head, and fell flatH7812 on his faceH639. {fell…: or, bowed himself}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smittenH5221 thine assH860 these threeH7969 timesH7272? behold, I went outH3318 to withstandH7854 thee, because thy wayH1870 is perverseH3399 before me: {to…: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee}
And the assH860 sawH7200 me, and turnedH5186 from meH6440 these threeH7969 timesH7272: unlessH194 she had turnedH5186 from meH6440, surely now also I had slainH2026 thee, and saved her aliveH2421.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398; for I knewH3045 not that thou stoodestH5324 in the wayH1870 againstH7125 me: now therefore, if it displease theeH7489+H5869, I will get me back againH7725. {displease…: Heb. be evil in thine eyes}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, GoH3212 with the menH582: but onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee, that thou shalt speakH1696. So BalaamH1109 wentH3212 with the princesH8269 of BalakH1111.
And when BalakH1111 heardH8085 that BalaamH1109 was comeH935, he went outH3318 to meetH7125 him unto a cityH5892 of MoabH4124, which is in the borderH1366 of ArnonH769, which is in the utmostH7097 coastH1366.
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Did I not earnestlyH7971 sendH7971 unto thee to callH7121 thee? wherefore camestH1980 thou not unto me? am I not ableH3201 indeedH552 to promote thee to honourH3513?
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, Lo, I am comeH935 unto thee: have I now any powerH3201 at allH3201 to sayH1696 any thingH3972? the wordH1697 that GodH430 puttethH7760 in my mouthH6310, that shall I speakH1696.
And BalaamH1109 wentH3212 with BalakH1111, and they cameH935 unto KirjathhuzothH2351+H7155. {Kirjathhuzoth: or, a city of streets}
And BalakH1111 offeredH2076 oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and sentH7971 to BalaamH1109, and to the princesH8269 that were with him.
And it came to pass on the morrowH1242, that BalakH1111 tookH3947 BalaamH1109, and brought him upH5927 into the high placesH1116 of BaalH1120, that thence he might seeH7200 the utmostH7097 part of the peopleH5971.

And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of IsraelH3478, and delivered upH5414 the CanaanitesH3669; and they utterly destroyedH2763 them and their citiesH5892: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 HormahH2767. {Hormah: that is, Utter destruction}
And from BamothH1120 in the valleyH1516, that is in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, which lookethH8259 towardH6440 JeshimonH3452. {country: Heb. field} {Pisgah: or, the hill} {Jeshimon: or, the wilderness}
And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559,
Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of the wellH875: but we will go alongH3212 by the king'sH4428 high wayH1870, until we be pastH5674 thy bordersH1366.
And SihonH5511 would not sufferH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057: and he cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 unto JabbokH2999, even unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794.
And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all the villagesH1323 thereof. {villages: Heb. daughters}
For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto ArnonH769.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbsH4911 sayH559, ComeH935 into HeshbonH2809, let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and preparedH3559:
For there is a fireH784 gone outH3318 of HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the cityH7151 of SihonH5511: it hath consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, and the lords of the high placesH1181 of ArnonH769.
WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undoneH6, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: he hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 that escapedH6412, and his daughtersH1323, into captivityH7622 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.
We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769, and we have laid them wasteH8074 even unto NophahH5302, which reacheth unto MedebaH4311.
Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JaazerH3270, and they tookH3920 the villagesH1323 thereof, and drove outH3423+H3423 the AmoritesH567 that were there.
And they turnedH6437 and went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 went outH3318 againstH7125 them, he, and all his peopleH5971, to the battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, FearH3372 him not: for I have deliveredH5414 him into thy handH3027, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776; and thou shalt doH6213 to him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So they smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971, until there was noneH1115 leftH7604 him aliveH8300: and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
