Then the Israelites moved and set up camp across from Jericho, on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River.

Balak, son of Zippor, saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

The Moabites were very afraid because there were so many Israelites. Besides, the Moabites couldn’t stand these people.

So the Moabites said to the leaders of Midian, “All those people will eventually eat up everything around us the same way an ox eats up the grass in a field.” At that time Balak, son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

He sent messengers to summon Balaam, son of Beor, who was at Pethor, on the Euphrates River, in the land where his people lived. Balak’s message was, “A nation has just come here from Egypt. They’ve spread out all over the countryside and are setting up their camp here in front of me.

Please come and curse these people for me, because they are too strong for me. Maybe then I’ll be able to defeat them and force them out of the country. I know that whomever you bless is blessed and whomever you curse is cursed.”

The leaders of Moab and Midian left, taking money with them to pay for Balaam’s services. They came to Balaam and told him what Balak had said.

“Spend the night here,” Balaam said to them, “and I’ll report to you what the Lord tells me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balaam answered, “Balak, son of King Zippor of Moab, sent them with this message:
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
‘Some people have just come from Egypt and are spreading out all over the countryside. Now come and curse them for me. Maybe I’ll be able to fight them and force them out.’”

But God said to Balaam, “Don’t go with them! Don’t curse these people, because they are blessed.”

When Balaam got up in the morning, he said to Balak’s princes, “Go back to your own country, because the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the Moabite princes went back to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balak sent a larger group of more highly respected princes.

When they came to Balaam, they said to him, “This is what Balak, son of Zippor, says: Don’t let anything keep you from coming to me.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I will make sure you are richly rewarded, and I will do whatever you ask. Please, come and curse these people for me.”

But Balaam answered Balak’s servants, “Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I couldn’t disobey the command of the Lord my God no matter whether the request was important or not.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Now, why don’t you stay here tonight, as the others did, and I’ll find out what else the Lord may have to tell me.”

That night God came to Balaam and said, “If these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.”

When Balaam got up in the morning, he saddled his donkey and left with the Moabite princes.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
God became angry that he was going. So the Messenger of the Lord stood in the road to stop him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, accompanied by his two servants.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When the donkey saw the Messenger of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn, the donkey turned off the road into a field. Balaam hit the donkey to get it back on the road.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Where the road went through the vineyards, it was narrow, with stone walls on both sides. Now the Messenger of the Lord stood there.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When the donkey saw the Messenger of the Lord, it moved over and pinned Balaam’s foot against the wall. So Balaam hit the donkey again.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then the Messenger of the Lord moved ahead and stood in a narrower place where there was no room to turn to the right or the left.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When the donkey saw the Messenger of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam. Balaam became so angry he hit the donkey with his stick.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then the Lord made the donkey speak, and it asked Balaam, “What have I done to make you hit me three times?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balaam answered, “You’ve made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I’d kill you right now.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The donkey said to Balaam, “I’m your own donkey. You’ve always ridden me. Have I ever done this to you before?” “No,” he answered.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then the Lord let Balaam see the Messenger of the Lord who was standing in the road with his sword drawn. So Balaam knelt, bowing with his face touching the ground.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The Messenger of the Lord asked him, “Why have you hit your donkey three times like this? I’ve come here to stop you because the trip you’re taking is evil.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away from me, I would certainly have killed you by now but spared the donkey.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balaam said to the Messenger of the Lord, “I’ve sinned. I didn’t know you were standing there in the road to stop me. If you still think this trip is evil, I’ll go back.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The Messenger of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s princes.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at Ir Moab, in the region of the Arnon Valley, right on the border of Moab.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balak said to Balaam, “Why didn’t you come when I summoned you? You knew I’d be able to reward you.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balaam replied, “Well, I’ve come to you now. But I can’t say whatever I want to. I can only say what God tells me to say.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Balak sacrificed cattle, sheep, and goats, and sent some of the meat to Balaam and the princes who were with him.

The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal. From there he could see the outskirts of the Israelites’ camp.
