And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me.
Þerfor he sente messangeris to Balaam, þe sone of Beor, a fals diuynour, þat dwellide on þe flood of þe lond of þe sones of Amon, þat þei schulden clepe hym, and schulden seie, Lo! a puple yede out of Egipt, which puple hilide þe face of erþe, and sittith ayens me.
