He replied to them, “Stay here tonight, and I will bring back to you whatever word the Lord may speak to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

So Balaam got up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, for the Lord has refused to permit me to go with you.”

Now therefore, please stay the night here also, that I may know what more the Lord might say to me.”

And when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed herself into the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he beat her again.

Then the angel of the Lord went farther, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.

When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she crouched down under Balaam. Then Balaam was angry, and he beat his donkey with a staff.

Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

He has not looked on iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The Lord their God is with them; his acclamation as king is among them.

But Balaam replied to Balak, “Did I not tell you, ‘All that the Lord speaks, I must do’?”

“Number the people from twenty years old and upward, just as the Lord commanded Moses and the Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land I have given to the Israelites.

The Lord replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is such a spirit, and lay your hand on him;

So Moses did as the Lord commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.

(30:1) So Moses told the Israelites everything, just as the Lord had commanded him.

Moses told the leaders of the tribes concerning the Israelites, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses, relating to a man and his wife, and a father and his young daughter who is still living in her father’s house.
