Numbers 22:5

5 So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.

Numbers 22:7

7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak's words to him.

Numbers 22:8

8 He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the LORD may speak to me." And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.

Numbers 22:9

9 Then God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

Numbers 22:10

10 Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me,

Numbers 22:12

12 God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."

Numbers 22:13

13 So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, "Go back to your land, for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

Numbers 22:14

14 The leaders of Moab arose and went to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

Numbers 22:16

16 They came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Let nothing, I beg you, hinder you from coming to me;

Numbers 22:18

18 Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the LORD my God.

Numbers 22:20

20 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 only the word which I speak to you shall you do."

Numbers 22:21

21 So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his donkey and went with the leaders of Moab.

Numbers 22:23

23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand, the donkey turned off from the way and went into the field; but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back into the way.

Numbers 22:25

25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD , she pressed herself to the wall and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall, so he struck her again.

Numbers 22:27

27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD , she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stick.

Numbers 22:28

28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

Numbers 22:29

29 Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now."

Numbers 22:30

30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."

Numbers 22:31

31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground.

Numbers 22:34

34 Balaam said to the angel of the LORD , "I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back."

Numbers 22:35

35 But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but you shall speak only the word which I tell you." So Balaam went along with the leaders of Balak.

Numbers 22:36

36 When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the Arnon border, at the extreme end of the border.

Numbers 22:37

37 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really unable to honor you?"

Numbers 22:38

38 So Balaam said to Balak, "Behold, I have come now to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak."

Numbers 22:39

39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.

Numbers 22:40

40 Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent some to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.

Numbers 22:41

41 Then it came about in the morning that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from there a portion of the people.

Numbers 23:1

1 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

Numbers 23:2

2 Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

Numbers 23:3

3 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you." So he went to a bare hill.

Numbers 23:4

4 Now God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

Numbers 23:5

5 Then the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and you shall speak thus."

Numbers 23:11

11 Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!"

Numbers 23:16

16 Then the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

Numbers 23:25

25 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!"

Numbers 23:26

26 But Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not tell you, 'Whatever the LORD speaks, that I must do '?"

Numbers 23:27

27 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there."

Numbers 23:28

28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor which overlooks the wasteland.

Numbers 23:29

29 Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

Numbers 23:30

30 Balak did just as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

Numbers 24:1

1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.

Numbers 24:2

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

Numbers 24:3

3 He took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened;

Numbers 24:10

10 Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!

Numbers 24:12

12 Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,

Numbers 24:15

15 He took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, And the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,

Numbers 24:25

25 Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.

Numbers 31:8

8 They killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of their slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

Numbers 31:16

16 "Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD .
