Numbers 22:36-40

³⁶And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the extremity of the border;

³⁷and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'

³⁸And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Lo, I have come unto thee; now — am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth — it I do speak.'

³⁹And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,

⁴⁰and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who are with him;
