HARMONY OF THE LAW · VOLUME 2
9. And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
9. Et venit Deus ad Balaam, ac dixit, Qui sunt viri isti qui sunt apud te?
10. And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
10. Respondit Balaam Deo, Balac filius Sippor rex Moab misit ad me:
11. Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
11. En populus iste qui egressus est ex AEgypto operuit superficiem terrae: nunc ergo veni, maledic mihi illi: forte potero pugnare cum eo, et expellere eum.
12. And God said unto Baalam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
12. Et dixit Deus ad Balaam, Ne eas cum illis, neque maledicas populo qui benedictus est.
13. And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the Lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you
13. Surrexit itaque Balaam mane, et dixit ad principes Balac, Revertimini ad terram vestram: quia renuit Jehova concedere mihi, ut eam vobiscum.
14. And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
14. Et surrexerunt principes Moab, et perverternut ad Balac, ac dixerunt, Renuit Balaam venire nobiscum.
15. And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
15. Rursus ergo misit Balac principes plures, et nobiliores istis.
