Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁰ Bil‘am said to God, “Balak the son of Tzippor, king of Mo’av, has sent me this message: ¹¹ ‘The people who came out of Egypt have spread over the land; now, come and curse them for me; maybe I will be able to fight against them and drive them out.’” ¹² God answered Bil‘am, “You are not to go with them; you are not to curse the people, because they are blessed.”
