Numbers 22:1-6

And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan.

And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,

And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,

He said to the elders of Madian: So will this people destroy all that dwell in our borders, as the ox is wont to eat the grass to the very roots. Now he was at that time king in Moab.

He sent therefore messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, a soothsayer, who dwelt by the river of the land of the children of Ammon, to call him, and to say: Behold a people is come out of Egypt, that hath covered the face of the earth, sitting over against me.

Come therefore, and curse this people, because it is mightier than I: if by any means I may beat them and drive them out of my land: for I know that he whom thou shalt bless is blessed, and he whom thou shalt curse is cursed.
