Numbers 22:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ Now, please go, curse this people for me because they^[a] are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them^[b] and drive them^[c] out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed.”

⁷ So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went with a fee for divination in their hand; they came to Balaam and spoke the words of Balak to him. ⁸ He said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will return, and I will return word to you, just as Yahweh speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
