| Deuteronomy 23:4 | Because they would not meet you with bread and water in the way, when you came out of Egypt: *and because they hired against thee Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, to curse thee: Numbers 22:5.; Josue 24:9. | Water: the necessaries of life. This inhumanity is highly resented. --- Son. Hebrew, "of Beor, of Pethor, a city of Mesopotamia, to curse thee." (Haydock) (Numbers 22:5.) |
