Numbers 22:13 CPDV

¹¹  saying: 'Behold, a people, which has gone forth from Egypt, has covered the face of the earth. Come and curse them, so that, in some way, I may be able to fight them and drive them away.'

¹²  And God said to Balaam, 'Do not go with them, and do not curse the people, for they are blessed.'

¹³  And he, rising up in the morning, said to the leaders, 'Go into your own land, for the Lord has prohibited me from going with you.'

¹⁴  Returning, the leaders said to Balak, 'Balaam was not willing to come with us.'

¹⁵  Again, he sent many more persons, and these were more noble than those he had sent before.
