35. The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with these men, but say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s leaders.
36. When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at Ar in Moab, which was beside the Arnon, at the edge of his country.
37. Balak said to Balaam, “I had asked you before to come quickly. Why didn’t you come to me? I am able to reward you well.”
38. But Balaam answered, “I have come to you now, but I can’t say just anything. I can only say what God tells me to say.”
39. Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth.
