Bible verse
Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers.
Numbers 22:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 22.
11 ‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them away.’”
12 But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”
13 So Balaam got up the next morning and said to Balak’s princes, “Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused to let me go with you.”
14 And the princes of Moab arose, returned to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
15 Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers.
16 They came to Balaam and said, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
17 for I will honor you richly and do whatever you say. So please come and put a curse on this people for me!’”
18 But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
19 So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”
