14. And the sarim of Moav rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15. And Balak sent yet again sarim, more, and more distinguished than they.
16. And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak ben Tzippor, Let nothing, please, hinder thee from coming unto me;
17. For I will exceedingly reward thee, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me; come, therefore, please, curse for me this people.
18. And Balaam answered and said unto the avadei Balak, If Balak would give me his palace full of kesef and zahav, I cannot go beyond the Devar Hashem Elohai, to do ketanah or gedolah.
19. Now, therefore, please, tarry ye also here this night, that I may have da'as of what more Hashem will say unto me.
