He replied to them,“Stay here tonight, and I will bring back to you whatever word the LORD may speak to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
And God came to Balaam and said,“Who are these men with you?”
Balaam said to God,“Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent a message to me, saying,
“Look, a nation has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Come now and put a curse on them for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out.”
But God said to Balaam,“You must not go with them; you must not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
So Balaam got up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak,“Go to your land, for the LORD has refused to permit me to go with you.”
So the princes of Moab departed and went back to Balak and said,“Balaam refused to come with us.”
