Numbers 22:7-14
7So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went away with the fees for adivination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and spoke Balak’s words to him. 8And he said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as Yahweh may speak to me.” And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam. 9Then aGod came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?” 10And Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me, 11‘Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt, and they cover the surface of the land; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out.’” 12And God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them; ayou shall not curse the people, for they bare blessed.” 13So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak’s leaders, “Go back to your land, for Yahweh has refused to allow me to go with you.” 14And the leaders of Moab arose and came to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to go with us.”
