"“What do these men want with you?” "
— Numbers 22:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?”
“And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? ”
“God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"”
“And God came to Balaam and said,“Who are these men with you?””
“What mean these men that are with thee?”
“And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?”
“And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?”
Therefore, come and curse this people, for they are stronger than I am. If only, in some way, I might be able to strike them and to drive them from my land. For I know that he whom you bless shall be blessed, and he whom you curse shall be cursed.”
And the elders of Moab, and those greater by birth of Midian, continued on, holding the price of divination in their hands. And when they had come to Balaam, and had explained to him all the words of Balak,
he responded, “Remain for this night, and I will answer with whatever the Lord will say to me.” And while they stayed with Balaam, God came and said to him,
“What do these men want with you?”
He responded, “Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of the Moabites has sent to me,
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.’ ”
And God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them, and do not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
