Verse 12 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.

Gott aber sprach zu Bileam: Gehe nicht mit ihnen, verfluche das Volk auch nicht; denn es ist gesegnet.
Entonces dijo Dios a Balaam: No vayas con ellos, ni maldigas al pueblo; porque es bendito.
Dieu dit à Balaam: Tu n'iras point avec eux; tu ne maudiras point ce peuple, car il est béni.
E Iddio disse a Balaam: Non andar con loro; non maledire quel popolo; conciossiachè egli sia benedetto.
Então disse Deus a Balaão: Não irás com eles, nem amaldiçoarás a este povo, porquanto é bendito.
