7 And Balaam (A)took up his discourse and said,
“From (B)Aram Balak has brought me, the king of Moab (C)from the eastern mountains:‘Come, (D)curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel!’
3 For whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites and (A)the Amalekites and (B)the people of the East would come up against them.
