and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, ‘Balaam is refusing to come with us.’
And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, ‘Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;’
And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
and Balak saith unto Balaam, ‘Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?’
