Deu 23:3-5:
3 No Amoni or Moavi is allowed to enter into Yahweh’s assembly, even down past the tenth generation[ref] 4 since they wouldn’t even sell you bread and water when the people were travelling from Mitsrayim (Egypt) to Kena’an (Canaan). What’s more, they hired Be’or’s son Bil’am (Balaam) (from Petor in Aram-Naharayim) to curse you 5 However, your god Yahweh took no notice of Bil’am and turned the curse into a blessing because he loves you,[ref]
Num 22:1-6:
22 Then the Israelis set off for the Moav (Moab) plains, and they camped there across the river from Yeriho (Jericho). 2 The Moavi King Balak (Tsipor’s son), saw everything that Yisrael (Israel) had done to the Amorim, 3 and when he realised that the Israelis were very numerous, the Moavi people became sick with fear. 4 and they told the elders at Midyan, “Now all that lot will devour everything that’s around us, just like a cow completely cleans out a green field.”
Now Tsipor’s son Balak was Moav’s king at that time, 5 and he sent messengers to Be’or’s son Bil’am (Balaam)[ref] at Petor (which was their tribal land near the Perat (Euphrates) river). He requested help, saying, “Listen, there’s a population here that came out from Mitsrayim (Egypt). Wow, they’ve covered the entire surface in this region and they’re living opposite me. 6 So now please come and curse this people group for me because they are more numerous than us, then perhaps I’ll be able to attack them and drive them out of the area, because I know that anyone you bless will be blessed, and those who you curse will be cursed.”
