Balak Summons Balaam

11‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them away.’”12But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”
