So Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now thiscompany will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grassof the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites atthat time. Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor,which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him,saying: Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face ofthe earth, and are settling next to me!Numbers 22:6 Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me,for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them anddrive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed,and he whom you curse is cursed.
