Numbers 22:40

Verse 40 of 41. The 22nd of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

36When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.

37Balak said to Balaam, “Didn’t I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”

38Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? I will speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”

39Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.

40Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.

41In the morning, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.
