Chumash Classes: Balak, Part 2

Balak sends messengers to Bilaam to come and curse the Jewish nation for him. Bilaam is told by G-d not to go with them. Bilaam makes it seem that the reason why G-d will not let him go is because the messengers were not prestigious enough to show Bilaam proper honor. He tells the second group of messengers that even if Balak gave him a house full of silver and gold he could not go against what the word of G-d. (Ch. 22 verses 6 - 19)
