Verse 1 is found in chapter 22 of Numbers. Balak, king of Moab, fears Israel and sends messengers to hire Balaam to curse the people. Balaam consults God and initially receives a prohibition against going with them. The narrative thus introduces the central conflict of this section: Balak seeks to use Balaam’s religious authority against Israel, while God determines in advance the limits of what can be spoken concerning his people.
