¹⁶ And the Lord met Balaam and ^(A)put a word in his mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.”

⁵ And the Lord ^(A)put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”

Balaam's Third Oracle

24 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go, as at ^(A)other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.

³⁵ And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, ^(A)but speak only the word that I tell you.” So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.
