Then Balaam said to Balak, Take your place by your burned offering, and I will go and see if the Lord comes to me: and I will give you word of whatever he says to me. And he went to an open place on a hill.

And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.

בִּלְעָ֔ם bil.'Am “Balaam”

But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?

בִּלְעָ֔ם bil.'Am “Balaam”

Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.

Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

בִּלְעָ֗ם bil.'Am “Balaam”

And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.

בִלְעָ֜ם vil.'Am “Balaam”

And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.

Then Balaam got up and went back to his place: and Balak went away.

בִּלְעָ֔ם bil.'Am “Balaam”

They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

בִּלְעָ֔ם bil.'Am “Balaam”

Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
