16 Ils arrivèrent auprès de Balaam, et lui dirent: Ainsi parle Balak, fils de Tsippor: Que l’on ne t’empêche donc pas de venir vers moi;

17 car je te rendrai beaucoup d’honneurs, et je ferai tout ce que tu me diras; viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple.

18 Balaam répondit et dit aux serviteurs de Balak: Quand Balak me donnerait sa maison pleine d’argent et d’or, je ne pourrais faire aucune chose, ni petite ni grande, contre l’ordre de l’Éternel, mon Dieu.

19 Maintenant, je vous prie, restez ici cette nuit, et je saurai ce que l’Éternel me dira encore.

20 Dieu vint à Balaam pendant la nuit, et lui dit: Puisque ces hommes sont venus pour t’appeler, lève-toi, va avec eux; mais tu feras ce que je te dirai.
