Then Moses summoned<n id="1" /> Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, &#8220;We will not come up.<n id="2" />

Balak said to Balaam, &#8220;Did I not send again and again<n id="1" /> to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?&#8221;<n id="2" />

And he sent messengers to Balaam<n id="1" /> son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates River<n id="2" /> in the land of Amaw,<n id="3" /> to summon him, saying, &#8220;Look, a nation has come out of Egypt. They cover the face<n id="4" /> of the earth, and they are settling next to me.

God came to Balaam that night, and said to him, &#8220;If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them; but the word that I will say to you, that you must do.&#8221;
