*
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 :
*
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 .

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand ;
and they came unto Balaam Bil #

and spake unto him the words of Balak .
