Numbers 22:15-20
15Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and more 1honorable than 2the former. 16And they came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, ‘Let nothing, I beg you, withhold you from coming to me; 17for I will indeed honor you richly, and I will do whatever you say to me. aPlease come then, curse this people for me.’” 18And Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “aThough Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, to trespass the 1command of Yahweh my God. 19“So now, please, you also stay here tonight, and I will know what else Yahweh will speak to me.” 20And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but aonly the word which I speak to you shall you do.”
