Numbers 22:7-12

⁷And the elders of Moab and of Midian went, with the (price of) divinations in their hands, and came to Bileam, and told him the words of Balak.

⁸And he said to them, Lodge here for the night, and I will return you word, according as the Lord speaketh with me. And the princes of Moab tarried with Bileam.

⁹And a word from before the Lord came unto Bileam, and said, Who are these men who are with thee?

¹⁰And Bileam said before the Lord, Balak bar Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to me.

¹¹Behold, a people are come out of Mizraim, and hide the glance of the sun from the earth. Now come, curse him for me, that I may be able to fight him, and drive him away.

¹²And the Lord said to Bileam, Thou shalt not go with them: thou shalt not curse the people, for he is blessed.
