7 And the elders H2205 of Moab H4124 and the elders H2205 of Midian H4080 departed H1980 W-VQY3MP with the rewards of divination H7081 in their hand H3027 ; and they came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , and spoke H1696 W-VPY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him the words H1697 CMP of Balak H1111 .

9 And God H430 EDP came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4310 IPRO men H376 are these H428 D-DPRO-3MP with H5973 PREP-2FS thee ?
10 And Balaam H1109 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP , Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor H6834 , king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 , hath sent H7971 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP me , saying ,

13 And Balaam H1109 rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 B-NMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the princes H8269 CMP of Balak H1111 , Get H1980 VQI2MP you into H413 PREP your land H776 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS refuseth H3985 to give me leave H5414 to go H1980 L-VQFC with H5973 you .
14 And the princes H8269 CMP of Moab H4124 rose up H6965 , and they went H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Balak H1111 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , Balaam H1109 refuseth H3985 to come H1980 with H5973 us .
15 And Balak H1111 sent H7971 yet H5750 ADV again H3254 W-VHPMS princes H8269 NMP , more H7227 AMP , and more honorable H3513 than they H428 .
16 And they came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP to him , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor H6834 , Let nothing H408 NPAR , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , hinder H4513 thee from coming H1980 unto H413 PREP me :

18 And Balaam H1109 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the servants H5650 of Balak H1111 , If H518 PART Balak H1111 would give H5414 VQY3MS me his house H1004 CMS-3MS full H4393 of silver H3701 NMS and gold H2091 , I cannot H3201 go beyond H5674 the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 , to do H6213 L-VQFC less H6996 or H176 CONJ more H1419 AFS .

20 And God H430 EDP came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 at night H3915 GMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , If H518 PART the men H376 D-NMP come H935 VQQ3MP to call H7121 thee , rise up H6965 VQI2MS , and go H1980 VQI2MS with H854 PREP-3MP them ; but yet H389 W-ADV the word H1697 D-NMS which H834 RPRO I shall say H1696 VPY1MS unto H413 PREP thee , that shalt thou do H6213 .
21 And Balaam H1109 rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 B-NMS , and saddled H2280 his ass H860 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP the princes H8269 CMP of Moab H4124 .
22 And God H430 EDP \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 because H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS went H1980 VQPMS : and the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS stood H3320 in the way H1870 for an adversary H7854 against him . Now he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was riding H7392 upon H5921 PREP his ass H860 , and his two H8147 servants H5288 were with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
23 And the ass H860 saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS standing H5324 in the way H1870 , and his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS : and the ass H860 turned aside H5186 out of H4480 PREP the way H1870 D-NMS , and went H1980 W-VQQ3FS into the field H7704 B-NMS : and Balaam H1109 smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the ass H860 , to turn H5186 her into the way H1870 .
24 But the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS stood H5975 in a path H4934 of the vineyards H3754 , a wall H1447 being on this side H2088 M-DPRO , and a wall H1447 on that side H2088 .
25 And when the ass H860 saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS , she thrust herself H3905 unto H413 PREP the wall H7023 , and crushed H3905 Balaam H1109 \'s foot H7272 NFS against H413 PREP the wall H7023 : and he smote H5221 her again H3254 W-VHPMS .
26 And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS went H5674 further H3254 , and stood H5975 in a narrow H6862 NMS place H4725 , where H834 RPRO was no H369 ADV way H1870 NMS to turn H5186 either to the right hand H3225 NFS or to the left H8040 .
27 And when the ass H860 saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS , she fell down H7257 under H8478 NMS Balaam H1109 : and Balaam H1109 \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 , and he smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the ass H860 with a staff H4731 .
28 And the LORD H3068 EDS opened H6605 W-VQY3MS the mouth H6310 of the ass H860 , and she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto Balaam H1109 , What H4100 IPRO have I done H6213 unto thee , that H3588 CONJ thou hast smitten H5221 me these H2088 DPRO three H7969 MFS times H7272 ?
29 And Balaam H1109 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the ass H860 , Because H3588 CONJ thou hast mocked H5953 me : I would H3863 CONJ there were H3426 ADV a sword H2719 GFS in mine hand H3027 B-CFS-1MS , for H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV would I kill H2026 thee .
30 And the ass H860 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , Am not H3808 ADV I H595 PPRO-1MS thine ass H860 , upon H5921 PREP-1MS which H834 RPRO thou hast ridden H7392 ever since H5750 I was thine unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS ? was I ever wont H5532 to do H6213 L-VQFC so H3541 unto thee ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Nay H3808 ADV .
31 Then the LORD H3068 EDS opened H1540 the eyes H5869 CMD of Balaam H1109 , and he saw H7200 W-VIY3MS the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS standing H5324 in the way H1870 , and his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS : and he bowed down his head H6915 , and fell flat H7812 on his face H639 .
32 And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Wherefore H4100 IGAT hast thou smitten H5221 thine ass H860 these H2088 DPRO three H7969 MFS times H7272 ? behold H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS went out H3318 VQPFS-1MS to withstand H7854 thee , because H3588 CONJ thy way H1870 D-NMS is perverse H3399 before H5048 me :
33 And the ass H860 saw H7200 me , and turned H5186 from H6440 L-CMP me these H2088 DPRO three H7969 MFS times H7272 : unless H194 ADV she had turned H5186 from M-CMP-1MS me , surely H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV also H1571 CONJ I had slain H2026 VQQ1MS thee , and saved her alive H2421 .
34 And Balaam H1109 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS , I have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS ; for H3588 CONJ I knew H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS stoodest H5324 in the way H1870 against H7125 me : now H6258 W-ADV therefore , if H518 PART it displease H7489 thee , I will get me back again H7725 .
35 And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , Go H1980 VQI2MS with H5973 PREP the men H376 D-NMP : but only H657 the word H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO I shall speak H1696 VPY1MS unto H413 PREP thee , that thou shalt speak H1696 . So Balaam H1109 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP the princes H8269 CMP of Balak H1111 .
36 And when Balak H1111 heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ Balaam H1109 was come H935 , he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS to meet H7125 L-VQFC-3MS him unto H413 PREP a city H5892 GFS of Moab H4124 , which H834 RPRO is in H5921 PREP the border H1366 CMS of Arnon H769 , which H834 RPRO is in the utmost H7097 coast H1366 .
37 And Balak H1111 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balaam H1109 , Did I not H3808 ADV earnestly send H7971 unto H413 PREP thee to call H7121 thee ? wherefore H4100 L-IPRO camest H1980 thou not H3808 NADV unto H413 PREP me ? am I not able H3201 indeed H552 to promote thee to honor H3513 ?
38 And Balaam H1109 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Balak H1111 , Lo H2009 , I am come H935 unto H413 PREP thee : have I now H6258 ADV any power at all H3201 to say H1696 VPFC any thing H3972 NMS ? the word H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO God H430 EDP putteth H7760 VQY3MS in my mouth H6310 B-CMS , that shall I speak H1696 VPY1MS .
39 And Balaam H1109 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP Balak H1111 , and they came H935 W-VQY3MP unto Kirjath H7155 - huzoth .
40 And Balak H1111 offered H2076 oxen H1241 NMS and sheep H6629 , and sent H7971 W-VPY3MS to Balaam H1109 , and to the princes H8269 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him .
41 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS on the morrow H1242 , that Balak H1111 took H3947 W-VQY3MS Balaam H1109 , and brought him up H5927 into the high places H1116 of Baal H1168 , that thence H8033 M-ADV he might see H7200 W-VIY3MS the utmost H7097 part of the people H5971 D-NMS .
