Dignitaries from the nations of Moav and Midian have hired the renowned prophet Bilaam to curse the People of Israel. “We are terribly terrified of those treacherous Israelites,” said Rashid Al HaSela, prince of Moav. “With the G-d of Israel on their side, they will surely destroy us. They’ll devour us as if we are blades of grass before of a starving cow. We’ll be finished... kapoot... finito! Our only hope is for Prophet Bilaam to cast one of his super-duper curses upon those Jews. We’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse! Megabucks!”
When interviewed by TNS, Bilaam seemed quite hesitant to undertake this undertaking. “I hate those Jews more than you can imagine, but the sad truth is that I am not the one in control here. I am merely a puppet from the Master-Heaven-Controller. No doubt about it, it’s going to be quite a rough ride!”
