³And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many, and Moab was distressed, because of the children of Israel.

⁴And Moab said vnto the elders of Midian; Now shall this company licke vp all that are round about vs, as the oxe licketh vp the grasse of the field. And Balak the sonne of Zippor, was King of the Moabites at that time.

^5*He sent messengers therefore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the riuer of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: beholde, they couer the ^†face of the earth, and they abide ouer against me.

⁶Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse mee this people, for they are too mightie for me: peraduenture I shall preuaile, that we may smite them, and that I may driue them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest, is blessed, and hee whom thou cursest, is cursed.

⁷And the elders of Moab, and the elders of Midian departed, with the rewards of diuination in their hand; and they came vnto Balaam, and spake vnto him the words of Balak.

⁸And hee said vnto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word againe as the LORD shal speake vnto mee: and the Princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

⁹And God came vnto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

¹⁰And Balaam said vnto God, Balak the sonne of Zippor, King of Moab, hath sent vnto me, saying;

¹¹Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which couereth the face of the earth: Come now, curse me them; peraduenture ^†I shalbe able to ouercome them, and driue them out.

¹²And God saide vnto Balaam; Thou shalt not goe with them, thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

¹³And Balaam rose vp in the morning, and said vnto the Princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to giue mee leaue to goe with you.

¹⁴And the Princes of Moab rose vp, and they went vnto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with vs.

¹⁵¶ And Balak sent yet againe Princes, moe, and more honourable then they.

¹⁶And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor; ^†Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from comming vnto me:

¹⁷For I wil promote thee vnto very great honour, and I will do whatsoeuer thou saiest vnto me: Come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

¹⁸And Balaam answered and said vnto the seruants of Balak, ^*If Balak would giue me his house full of siluer and gold, I cannot goe beyond the word of the LORD my God, to doe lesse or more.

¹⁹Now therefore, I pray you, tarie yee also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say vnto me more.

²⁰And God came vnto Balaam at night, and said vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but yet the word which I shall say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe.

²¹And Balaam rose vp in the morning, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.

²²¶ And Gods anger was kindled, because he went: and the Angel of the LORD stood in the way for an aduersarie against him: Now he was riding vpon his asse, and his two seruants were with him.

²³And ^*the Asse sawe the Angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawen in his hand: and the asse turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.

²⁴But the Angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, & a wall on that side.

²⁵And when the asse saw the Angel of the LORD, she thrust her selfe vnto the wall, and crusht Balaams foote against the wall: and hee smote her againe.
