1And the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] set forward, and pitched in the plains of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] on this side Yarden [Descender] [by] Yericho [Its Moon].

2And Balak [Devastator] the son of Zippor [Sparrow] saw all that Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had done to the Emori [Highlanders]. 3And Mo’av [Seed of my Father] was sore afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Mo’av [Seed of my Father] was distressed because of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 4And Mo’av [Seed of my Father] said unto the elders of Midyan [Strife], Now shall this company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak [Devastator] the son of Zippor [Sparrow] [was] king of the Mo’avi [of his father] at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore unto Bil’am [Not of the People] the son of B’or [Burning] to P’tor [Soothsayer (one who fortells the future by ungodly means)], which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray youⁱ, curse me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, [that] we may strike them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom youⁱ bless [is] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous), and he whom youⁱ curse is cursed.

7And the elders of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] and the elders of Midyan [Strife] departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Bil’am [Not of the People], and spoke unto him the words of Balak [Devastator]. 8And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall speak unto me: and the princes of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] abode with Bil’am [Not of the People]. 9And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came unto Bil’am [Not of the People], and said, What men [are] these with youⁱ? 10And Bil’am [Not of the People] said unto God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], Balak [Devastator] the son of Zippor [Sparrow], king of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], has sent unto me, [saying], 11Behold, [there is] a people come out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 12And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto Bil’am [Not of the People], youⁱ shall not go with them; youⁱ shall not curse the people: for they [are] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous). 13And Bil’am [Not of the People] rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak [Devastator], Get you into your land: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) refuses to give me leave to go with you. 14And the princes of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] rose up, and they went unto Balak [Devastator], and said, Bil’am [Not of the People] refuses to come with us.

15And Balak [Devastator] sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 16And they came to Bil’am [Not of the People], and said to him, Thus says Balak [Devastator] the son of Zippor [Sparrow], Let nothing, I pray youⁱ, hinder youⁱ from coming unto me: 17For I will promote youⁱ unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever youⁱ say unto me: come therefore, I pray youⁱ, curse me this people. 18And Bil’am [Not of the People] answered and said unto the servants of Balak [Devastator], If Balak [Devastator] would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to do less or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you, wait you^2f also here this night, that I may know what the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will say unto me more. 20And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came unto Bil’am [Not of the People] at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call youⁱ, rise up, [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto youⁱ, that shall youⁱ do.

21And Bil’am [Not of the People] rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Mo’av [Seed of my Father].

22And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]'s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him. 23And the ass saw the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Bil’am [Not of the People] struck the ass, to turn her into the way. 24But the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side. 25And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Bil’am [Not of the People]'s foot against the wall: and he struck her again. 26And the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) went further, and stood in a narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), she fell down under Bil’am [Not of the People]: and Bil’am [Not of the People]'s anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with a staff. 28And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Bil’am [Not of the People], What have I done unto youⁱ, that youⁱ have smitten me these three times? 29And Bil’am [Not of the People] said unto the ass, Because youⁱ have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill youⁱ. 30And the ass said unto Bil’am [Not of the People], [Am] not I youⁱ ass, upon which youⁱ have ridden ever since [I was] youⁱ unto this day? was I ever won't to do so unto youⁱ? And he said, No.

31Then the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) opened the eyes of Bil’am [Not of the People], and he saw the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 32And the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, For what reason have youⁱ smitten youⁱ ass these three times? behold, I went out that is to withstand youⁱ, because [youⁱ] way is perverse before me: 33And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain youⁱ, and saved her alive. 34And Bil’am [Not of the People] said unto the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I have sinned; for I knew not that youⁱ stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease youⁱ, I will get me back again. 35And the angel of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Bil’am [Not of the People], Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto youⁱ, that youⁱ shall speak. So Bil’am [Not of the People] went with the princes of Balak [Devastator].

36And when Balak [Devastator] heard that Bil’am [Not of the People] was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], which [is] in the border of ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream], which [is] in the utmost coast. 37And Balak [Devastator] said unto Bil’am [Not of the People], Did I not earnestly send unto youⁱ to call youⁱ? wherefore came youⁱ not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote youⁱ to honour? 38And Bil’am [Not of the People] said unto Balak [Devastator], Lo, I am come unto youⁱ: have I now any power at all to (to do entirely, do wholly) say anything? the word that God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. 39And Bil’am [Not of the People] went with Balak [Devastator], and they came unto Kiryat-Hutzot [City of Streets]. 40And Balak [Devastator] offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Bil’am [Not of the People], and to the princes that [were] with him.

41And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak [Devastator] took Bil’am [Not of the People], and brought him up into the high places of Ba’al [lord (a false god)], that there he might see the utmost [part] of the people.
