35. But the angel of the Lord said to Balaam: “Go with the men; but you may say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.
36. When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at Ar-Moab on the border formed by the Arnon, at its most distant point.
37. And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send an urgent summons to you? Why did you not come to me? Did you think I could not reward you?”
38. Balaam answered Balak, “Well, I have come to you after all. But what power have I to say anything? I can speak only what God puts in my mouth.”
39. Then Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
40. Here Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent portions to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.
41. The next morning Balak took Balaam up on Bamoth-baal, and from there he could see some of the people.
