Bamidbar 22:9-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. And Elohim came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

10. And Balaam said unto HaElohim, Balak ben Tzippor, Melech Moav, hath sent unto me, saying,

11. Hinei, there is a people come out of Mitzrayim, which covereth the face of ha'aretz; come now, curse for me them; perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

12. And Elohim said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for baruch hu (it [the people] is blessed).

13. And Balaam rose up in the boker, and said unto the sarim of Balak, Go back to your land; for Hashem refuseth to give me permission to go with you.

14. And the sarim of Moav rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
