Chapter 22
And
the
children
of
Israel
set
forward,
and
pitched
in
the
plains
of
Moab
on
this
side
Jordan
by
Jericho.
2
And
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor
saw
all
that
Israel
had
done
to
the
Amorites.
3
And
Moab
was
sore
afraid
of
the
people,
because
they
were
many:
and
Moab
was
distressed
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
4
And
Moab
said
unto
the
elders
of
Midian,
Now
shall
this
company
lick
up
all
that
are
round
about
us,
as
the
ox
licketh
up
the
grass
of
the
field.
And
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor
was
king
of
the
Moabites
at
that
time.
5
He
sent
messengers
therefore
unto
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
to
Pethor,
which
is
by
the
river
of
the
land
of
the
children
of
his
people,
to
call
him,
saying,
Behold,
there
is
a
people
come
out
from
Egypt:
behold,
they
cover
the
face
of
the
earth,
and
they
abide
over
against
me:
6
Come
now
therefore,
I
pray
thee,
curse
me
this
people;
for
they
are
too
mighty
for
me:
peradventure
I
shall
prevail,
that
we
may
smite
them,
and
that
I
may
drive
them
out
of
the
land:
for
I
wot
that
he
whom
thou
blessest
is
blessed,
and
he
whom
thou
cursest
is
cursed.
7
And
the
elders
of
Moab
and
the
elders
of
Midian
departed
with
the
rewards
of
divination
in
their
hand;
and
they
came
unto
Balaam,
and
spake
unto
him
the
words
of
Balak.
8
And
he
said
unto
them,
Lodge
here
this
night,
and
I
will
bring
you
word
again,
as
the
Lord
shall
speak
unto
me:
and
the
princes
of
Moab
abode
with
Balaam.
9
And
God
came
unto
Balaam,
and
said,
What
men
are
these
with
thee?
10
And
Balaam
said
unto
God,
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab,
hath
sent
unto
me,
saying,
11
Behold,
there
is
a
people
come
out
of
Egypt,
which
covereth
the
face
of
the
earth:
come
now,
curse
me
them;
peradventure
I
shall
be
able
to
overcome
them,
and
drive
them
out.
12
And
God
said
unto
Balaam,
Thou
shalt
not
go
with
them;
thou
shalt
not
curse
the
people:
for
they
are
blessed.
13
And
Balaam
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
said
unto
the
princes
of
Balak,
Get
you
into
your
land:
for
the
Lord
refuseth
to
give
me
leave
to
go
with
you.
14
And
the
princes
of
Moab
rose
up,
and
they
went
unto
Balak,
and
said,
Balaam
refuseth
to
come
with
us.
15
And
Balak
sent
yet
again
princes,
more,
and
more
honourable
than
they.
16
And
they
came
to
Balaam,
and
said
to
him,
Thus
saith
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
Let
nothing,
I
pray
thee,
hinder
thee
from
coming
unto
me:
17
For
I
will
promote
thee
unto
very
great
honour,
and
I
will
do
whatsoever
thou
sayest
unto
me:
come
therefore,
I
pray
thee,
curse
me
this
people.
18
And
Balaam
answered
and
said
unto
the
servants
of
Balak,
If
Balak
would
give
me
his
house
full
of
silver
and
gold,
I
cannot
go
beyond
the
word
of
the
Lord
my
God,
to
do
less
or
more.
19
Now
therefore,
I
pray
you,
tarry
ye
also
here
this
night,
that
I
may
know
what
the
Lord
will
say
unto
me
more.
20
And
God
came
unto
Balaam
at
night,
and
said
unto
him,
If
the
men
come
to
call
thee,
rise
up,
and
go
with
them;
but
yet
the
word
which
I
shall
say
unto
thee,
that
shalt
thou
do.
21
And
Balaam
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
saddled
his
ass,
and
went
with
the
princes
of
Moab.
22
And
God’s
anger
was
kindled
because
he
went:
and
the
angel
of
the
Lord
stood
in
the
way
for
an
adversary
against
him.
Now
he
was
riding
upon
his
ass,
and
his
two
servants
were
with
him.
23
And
the
ass
saw
the
angel
of
the
Lord
standing
in
the
way,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand:
and
the
ass
turned
aside
out
of
the
way,
and
went
into
the
field:
and
Balaam
smote
the
ass,
to
turn
her
into
the
way.
24
But
the
angel
of
the
Lord
stood
in
a
path
of
the
vineyards,
a
wall
being
on
this
side,
and
a
wall
on
that
side.
25
And
when
the
ass
saw
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
she
thrust
herself
unto
the
wall,
and
crushed
Balaam’s
foot
against
the
wall:
and
he
smote
her
again.
26
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
went
further,
and
stood
in
a
narrow
place,
where
was
no
way
to
turn
either
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
27
And
when
the
ass
saw
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
she
fell
down
under
Balaam:
and
Balaam’s
anger
was
kindled,
and
he
smote
the
ass
with
a
staff.
28
And
the
Lord
opened
the
mouth
of
the
ass,
and
she
said
unto
Balaam,
What
have
I
done
unto
thee,
that
thou
hast
smitten
me
these
three
times?
29
And
Balaam
said
unto
the
ass,
Because
thou
hast
mocked
me:
I
would
there
were
a
sword
in
mine
hand,
for
now
would
I
kill
thee.
30
And
the
ass
said
unto
Balaam,
Am
not
I
thine
ass,
upon
which
thou
hast
ridden
ever
since
I
was
thine
unto
this
day?
was
I
ever
wont
to
do
so
unto
thee?
And
he
said,
Nay.
31
Then
the
Lord
opened
the
eyes
of
Balaam,
and
he
saw
the
angel
of
the
Lord
standing
in
the
way,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand:
and
he
bowed
down
his
head,
and
fell
flat
on
his
face.
32
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Wherefore
hast
thou
smitten
thine
ass
these
three
times?
behold,
I
went
out
to
withstand
thee,
because
thy
way
is
perverse
before
me:
33
And
the
ass
saw
me,
and
turned
from
me
these
three
times:
unless
she
had
turned
from
me,
surely
now
also
I
had
slain
thee,
and
saved
her
alive.
34
And
Balaam
said
unto
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
I
have
sinned;
for
I
knew
not
that
thou
stoodest
in
the
way
against
me:
now
therefore,
if
it
displease
thee,
I
will
get
me
back
again.
35
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
said
unto
Balaam,
Go
with
the
men:
but
only
the
word
that
I
shall
speak
unto
thee,
that
thou
shalt
speak.
So
Balaam
went
with
the
princes
of
Balak.
36
And
when
Balak
heard
that
Balaam
was
come,
he
went
out
to
meet
him
unto
a
city
of
Moab,
which
is
in
the
border
of
Arnon,
which
is
in
the
utmost
coast.
37
And
Balak
said
unto
Balaam,
Did
I
not
earnestly
send
unto
thee
to
call
thee?
wherefore
camest
thou
not
unto
me?
am
I
not
able
indeed
to
promote
thee
to
honour?
38
And
Balaam
said
unto
Balak,
Lo,
I
am
come
unto
thee:
have
I
now
any
power
at
all
to
say
any
thing?
the
word
that
God
putteth
in
my
mouth,
that
shall
I
speak.
39
And
Balaam
went
with
Balak,
and
they
came
unto
Kirjath-huzoth.
40
And
Balak
offered
oxen
and
sheep,
and
sent
to
Balaam,
and
to
the
princes
that
were
with
him.
41
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
morrow,
that
Balak
took
Balaam,
and
brought
him
up
into
the
high
places
of
Baal,
that
thence
he
might
see
the
utmost
part
of
the
people.
