1. And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”
2. Balak did as Balaam had said. And Balak and Balaam offered on each altar a bull and a ram.
3. And Balaam said to Balak, “Stand beside 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. and God met Balaam. And Balaam said to him, “I have arranged the seven altars and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”
5. And the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
