And the leaders of Moab rose up and came to Balak. And they said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
And Balaam rose in the morning and said to the leaders of Balak. Go to your land, for Jehovah has refused to give me leave to go with you.
And Balak sent yet again, more leaders and more honorable than they.
then Balak said to Balaam, Sending, did I not send to you, to call for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not truly able to honor you?
