Numbers 22:12 in Context — Numbers 22

10 Balaam répondit à Dieu: Balak, fils de Tsippor, roi de Moab, les a envoyés pour me dire:

11 Voici, un peuple est sorti d’Égypte, et il couvre la surface de la terre; viens donc, maudis-le; peut-être ainsi pourrai-je le combattre, et le chasserai-je.

12 Dieu dit à Balaam: Tu n’iras point avec eux; tu ne maudiras point ce peuple, car il est béni.

13 Balaam se leva le matin, et il dit aux chefs de Balak: Allez dans votre pays, car l’Éternel refuse de me laisser aller avec vous.

14 Et les princes de Moab se levèrent, retournèrent auprès de Balak, et dirent: Balaam a refusé de venir avec nous.
