My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord.”

Remember how Balak, the king of Moab, planned to put a curse on your people. But Balaam, the son of Beor, gave them a blessing instead. Remember their journey from Shittim to Gilgal. I want you to know that I always do what is right.”

O my people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord.”

Don’t you remember, my people, how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead? And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the Lord, did everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness.”

When Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab.

The LORD said to Joshua,“ Today I have taken away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So that place is called Gilgal even to this day.So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.

Hear the sound of those who divide the sheep among the watering places; there they tell of the Lord’s victorious deeds, the victorious deeds of his warriors in Israel. Then the LORD’s people went down to the city gates–

The people went up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped in Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.

Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, launched an attack against Israel. He summoned Balaam son of Beor to call down judgment on you.I refused to respond to Balaam; he kept prophesying good things about you, and I rescued you from his power.

Extend your loyal love to your faithful followers, and vindicate the morally upright!

They killed the kings of Midian in addition to those slain– Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba– five Midianite kings. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.

Praise the LORD, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name!Praise the LORD, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds!

You must not eat any yeast with it; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, symbolic of affliction, for you came out of Egypt hurriedly. You must do this so you will remember for the rest of your life the day you came out of the land of Egypt.

They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

By forsaking the right path they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

Look, these people through the counsel of Balaam caused the Israelites to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Peor– which resulted in the plague among the community of the LORD!

I will tell about your justice, and all day long proclaim your salvation, though I cannot fathom its full extent.I will come and tell about the mighty acts of the sovereign LORD. I will proclaim your justice– yours alone.

Now take your positions, so I may confront you before the LORD regarding all the LORD’s just actions toward you and your ancestors.

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.

He does amazing things that will be remembered; the LORD is merciful and compassionate.

The Israelites traveled on and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan River across from Jericho.Balak son of Zippor saw all that the Israelites had done to the Amorites.And the Moabites were greatly afraid of the people, because they were so numerous. The Moabites were sick with fear because of the Israelites.So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian,“ Now this mass of people will lick up everything around us, as the bull devours the grass of the field. Now Balak son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at this time.And he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates River in the land of Amaw, to summon him, saying,“ Look, a nation has come out of Egypt. They cover the face of the earth, and they are settling next to me.So now, please come and curse this nation for me, for they are too powerful for me. Perhaps I will prevail so that we may conquer them and drive them out of the land. For I know that whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you curse is cursed.”So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fee for divination in their hand. They came to Balaam and reported to him the words of Balak.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.And God came to Balaam and said,“ Who are these men with you?”Balaam said to God,“ Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent a message to me, saying,“ Look, a nation has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Come now and put a curse on them for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out.”But God said to Balaam,“ You must not go with them; you must not curse the people, for they are blessed.”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.”So the princes of Moab departed and went back to Balak and said,“ Balaam refused to come with us.”Balak again sent princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first.And they came to Balaam and said to him,“ Thus says Balak son of Zippor:‘ Please do not let anything hinder you from coming to me.For I will honor you greatly, and whatever you tell me I will do. So come, put a curse on this nation for me.’”Balaam replied to the servants of Balak,“ Even if Balak would give me his palace full of silver and gold, I could not transgress the commandment of the LORD my God to do less or more.Now therefore, please stay the night here also, that I may know what more the LORD might say to me.”God came to Balaam that night, and said to him,“ 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.”So Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.Then God’s anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road.Then the angel of the LORD stood in a path among the vineyards, where there was a wall on either side.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.

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh– who are called“ uncircumcision” by the so- called“ circumcision” that is performed on the body by human hands–

You must remember the LORD your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day.

Remember– don’t ever forget– how you provoked the LORD your God in the desert; from the time you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place you were constantly rebelling against him.

But I have a few things against you: You have some people there who follow the teaching of Balaam, who instructed Balak to put a stumbling block before the people of Israel so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.

Balak said to Balaam,“ Come, please; I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.”

for they did not meet you with food and water on the way as you came from Egypt, and furthermore, they hired Balaam son of Beor of Pethor in Aram Naharaim to curse you.But the LORD your God refused to listen to Balaam and changed the curse to a blessing, for the LORD your God loves you.

Your justice, O God, extends to the skies above; you have done great things. O God, who can compare to you?

O LORD, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!

Remember the whole way by which he has brought you these forty years through the desert so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not.

Balak said to him,“ Please come with me to another place from which you can observe them. You will see only a part of them, but you will not see all of them. Curse them for me from there.”So Balak brought Balaam to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

Joshua captured in one campaign all these kings and their lands, for the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.

Woe to them! For they have traveled down Cain’s path, and because of greed have abandoned themselves to Balaam’s error; hence, they will certainly perish in Korah’s rebellion.

Then on the next morning Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to Bamoth Baal. From there he saw the extent of the nation.
