Nm. Números, capítulo Libro de los Números, capítulo 22
envió mensajeros a Balán (hijo de Beor) quien vivía en su tierra natal de Petor, cerca del río Éufrates. En su mensaje el rey rogaba a Balán que fuera y les ayudara.
―Una multitud ha llegado de Egipto, cubren toda la superficie de nuestro país; y han acampado justo delante de mí —le decía—. Ven y maldícelos en mi nombre para que pueda echarlos de mi tierra. Sé que cuando tú bendices grandes bendiciones caen sobre ellos, y también sé que a quienes tú maldices les va mal en todo.Dt. 23:4; Jos. 24:9; Nm. 23:25; Mi. 6:5

5Por tanto envió mensajeros á Balaam hijo de Beor, á Pethor, que está junto al río en la tierra de los hijos de su pueblo, para que lo llamasen, diciendo: Un pueblo ha salido de Egipto, y he aquí cubre la haz de la tierra, y habita delante de mí: 6Ven pues ahora, te ruego, maldíceme este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo: quizá podré yo herirlo, y echarlo de la tierra: que yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres, será maldito.

5Entonces envió a los hombres a Balaam, hijo de Beor, en Petor, junto al río, en la tierra de los hijos de su pueblo, y le dijeron: Mira, ha salido de Egipto un pueblo que cubre todo el rostro del tierra, y han puesto sus tiendas frente a mí: 6Vengan ahora, en respuesta a mi oración, y pongan una maldición sobre esta gente, porque son más grandes que yo: y entonces puedo ser lo suficientemente fuerte para vencerlos y enviarlos fuera de la tierra: porque está claro ese bien le llega al que tiene tu bendición, pero el que pones tu maldición está maldito.

5Él envió mensajeros a traer a Balán hijo de Beor que estaba en Petor, junto al río Éufrates, la tierra de sus parientes. Ellos le dijeron: «Mira, un pueblo que salió de Egipto se ha extendido por todo el país y está acampando aquí cerca. 6Ahora, ven y maldice a esta gente por mí, porque son más fuertes que yo. Tal vez yo sea capaz de atacarlos y los obligue a salir de la tierra. Sé que el que tú bendices queda bendito y el que tú maldices queda maldito».

5Et il envoya des messagers à Balaam, fils de Béor, à Pethor, qui est sur le fleuve, dans le pays des fils de son peuple, pour l’appeler, disant : Voici, un peuple est sorti d’Égypte ; voici, il couvre le dessus du pays, et il habite vis-à-vis de moi. 6Et maintenant, viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple, car il est plus fort que moi : peut-être pourrai-je le frapper, et le chasserai-je du pays ; car je sais que celui que tu bénis est béni, et que celui que tu maudis est maudit.
