37. And Balaq said to Bil‛am, “Did I not urgently send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to esteem you?”
38. And Bil‛am said to Balaq, “See, I have come to you! Now, am I at all able to say somewhat? The word that Elohim puts in my mouth, that I speak.”
39. And Bil‛am went with Balaq, and they came to Qiryath Ḥutsoth.
40. And Balaq slaughtered cattle and sheep, and he sent some to Bil‛am and to the heads who were with him.
41. And it came to be the next day, that Balaq took Bil‛am and brought him up to the high places of Ba‛al, and from there he saw the extremity of the camp.
