³⁶ When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him by the city of Moab, which was on the boundary of Aaron at the end of the territory. ³⁷ And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send to meet with you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really not able to honor you?” ³⁸ Balaam said to Balak, “Look, I came to you now. Am I really able to speak anything at all? I speak the word that God puts in my mouth.” ³⁹ Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-Huzoth. ⁴⁰ And Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and he sent them to Balaam and to the princes who were with him. ⁴¹ And it happened, in the morning Balak took Balaam and took him up to Bamoth-Baal, and he saw from there the end of the nation.
