Num Numbers, chapter Book of Numbers, chapter 22
He sent messengers therefore unto Bil’am [Not of the People] the son of B’or [Burning] to P’tor [Soothsayer (one who fortells the future by ungodly means)], which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:Deu 23:4; Jos 24:9
Come now therefore, I pray youi, curse me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, [that] we may strike them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom youi bless [is] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous), and he whom youi curse is cursed.Num 23:25; Mic 6:5
