1. AND BALAAM said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered on each altar a bull and a ram.
3. And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me; and whatever He shows me I will tell you. And he went to a bare height.
4. God met Balaam, who said to Him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.
5. And the Lord put a speech in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak and thus shall you speak.
6. Balaam returned to Balak, who was standing by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the princes of Moab.
