Ol Israel i stap long ples drai nating klostu 40 yia. Ol i bin pait na daunim planti strongpela siti. Nau ol i wokim kem long veli bilong Moap long hap is bilong Wara Jordan, em taim bilong go insait long Graun Bilong Promis. Balak, king bilong Moap, i pret olsem ol Israel bai kisim graun bilong em. So em i singautim wanpela man nem bilong em Balam, long kam long Moap na tokaut olsem samting nogut i mas painim ol Israel.

Tasol Jehova i tokim Balam: ‘Yu no ken tokaut long samting nogut i mas painim ol Israel.’ So Balam i no laik go. King Balak i singautim em namba tu taim na promis long givim ol samting em i laikim. Tasol Balam i no laik go. Bihain God i tok: ‘Yu ken go, tasol samting mi tokim yu long en, em tasol yu mas tokim ol.’
