34 And Ba´laam said unto the angel of the Lord, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
35 And the angel of the Lord said unto Ba´laam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Ba´laam went with the princes of Balak.
36 And when Balak heard that Ba´laam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
37 And Balak said unto Ba´laam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
38 And Ba´laam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Ba´laam went with Balak, and they came unto Kir´jath–hu´zoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Ba´laam, and to the princes that were with him.
