BRAGADAYJAH 462


BRAGADAYJAH 462

So the high ranking emissaries of Balak returned to Balaam and made known to him their King’s offer and his desire to have Balaam accompany them back to the King’s domain so that he might curse the children of Israel for him.
Then Balaam answered them and told them that even Balak were to give him his house full of silver and gold, he could not go against his Lord God to do neither small nor great. But notwithstanding Balaam’s personal knowledge and conviction that what he was being asked to do was not only morally wrong but physically impossible, the lure of riches was too great o dismiss out of hand; so again he invited the visitors to spend the night at his house while yet again he consulted with the Lord.

Now the Lord spoke to Balaam in the night and told him when the visitors call him in the morning, he was to go with them; but the words which he should say to them were the words the Lord told him to say. So Balaam got up early in the morning and saddled his ass and departed with the princes of Moab.
