וַיֹּ֨אמֶר בִּלְעָ֜ם לְבָלָ֗ק הִתְיַצֵּב֮ עַל־עֹלָתֶךָ֒ וְאֵֽלְכָ֗ה אוּלַ֞י יִקָּרֵ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לִקְרָאתִ֔י וּדְבַ֥ר מַה־יַּרְאֵ֖נִי וְהִגַּ֣דְתִּי לָ֑ךְ וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ שֶֽׁפִי׃
Bileam berkata kepada Balak, “Berdirilah di dekat korban bakaranmu, dan aku akan pergi. Mungkin Yang Mahakekal akan datang menjumpaiku, dan apa pun yang diperlihatkan-Nya kepadaku akan kuberitahukan kepadamu.” Lalu ia pergi seorang diri.
Targum Jonathan
And Bileam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go, if preadventure the Word of the Lord may come to meet me; and the word that shall be discovered to me, that I will declare to thee. And he went, bending as a serpent.
