Numbers 22:35-37

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁵ Then the Lord’s angel said to Balaam, “No, you can go with these men. But be careful. Speak only the words that I will tell you to say.” So Balaam went with the leaders that Balak had sent.

³⁶ Balak heard that Balaam was coming. So Balak went out to meet him at the Moabite town^[a] near the Arnon River. This was at the northern border of his country. ³⁷ When Balak saw Balaam, he said to him, “I asked you before to come. I told you it was very important. Why didn’t you come to me? Did you think I might not be able to pay you?”
