34. Then Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord, I have sinned; for I did not know that thou didst stand in the way against me; now therefore, if it displease thee, I will return.
35. And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36. And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is next to the border of Arnon, which is at the limit of his territory.
37. And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? Why hast thou not come unto me? Am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
38. And Balaam said unto Balak, Behold, I am come unto thee; may I now say something? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39. And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
40. And Balak killed oxen and sheep and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him.
41. And on the next day, Balak took Balaam and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and from there he saw the utmost part of the people.
