26. Balaam answered, “Didn't I tell you that I had to do everything that the Lord told me?”
27. Balak said, “Come with me, and I will take you to another place. Perhaps God will be willing to let you curse them for me from there.”
28. So he took Balaam to the top of Mount Peor overlooking the desert.
29. Balaam said to him, “Build seven altars for me here and bring me seven bulls and seven rams.”
30. Balak did as he was told, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
