Numbers 23:3-7

³And Bileam said to Balak, Remain by thy burnt offering; and I will go, if perhaps the Word may meet me from before the Lord; and the word that He showeth me I will disclose unto thee. And he went solitary.

⁴And the Word from before the Lord met Bileam; and he said to Him; The seven altars have I set in order, and have offered a bullock and a ram upon every altar.

⁵And the Lord put a word upon Bileam’s mouth, and said to him: Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.

⁶And he returned to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the nobles of Moab.

⁷And he took up his parable, and said: Balak, king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram, From the mountains of the east: Come, curse me, Jakob, Come, hunt down Israel for me.
