Balaam Relocates Yet Again

26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, "Did I not speak to you, saying, 'Whatever Yahweh speaks I will do'?" 27 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please, come, I will take you to another place; perhaps {it will be acceptable to} God, and you will curse for me from there." 28 So Balak took Balaam [to] the top of Peor, which looks down on the face of the Jeshimon.
