Numbers 22:5 in Context — Numbers 22
3 E Moabe temeu muito por causa do povo que era muito; e angustiou-se Moabe por causa dos filhos de Israel.
4 E disse Moabe aos anciãos de Midiã: Agora lamberá esta gente todos nossos entornos, como lambe o boi a grama do campo. E Balaque, filho de Zipor, era então rei de Moabe.
5 Portanto enviou mensageiros a Balaão filho de Beor, a Petor, que está junto ao rio na terra dos filhos de seu povo, para que o chamassem, dizendo: Um povo saiu do Egito, e eis que cobre a face da terra, e habita diante de mim:
6 Vem pois agora, te rogo, amaldiçoa para mim este povo, porque é mais forte que eu: talvez poderei eu feri-lo, e lançá-lo da terra: que eu sei que o que tu abençoares, será bendito, e o que tu amaldiçoares, será maldito.
7 E foram os anciãos de Moabe e os anciãos de Midiã, com o [pagamento pela] adivinhação em sua mão, e chegaram a Balaão, e lhe disseram as palavras de Balaque.
