10 Baʹlaam said to the true God: “Baʹlak the son of Zipʹpor, the king of Moʹab, has sent me a message, saying, 11 ‘Look! The people who are coming out of Egypt are covering the face* of the earth.* Now come and put a curse on them for me.+ Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out.’”
