The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: Pethor, 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 Egypt:
behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against
me:
NUM 22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for
they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may
smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he
whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
NUM 22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with
the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and
spake unto him the words of Balak.
