1. Balaam said, “Build seven altars here. And prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2. Balak did what Balaam asked. Then Balak and Balaam killed a ram and a bull on each of the altars.
3. Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here near this altar. I will go to another place. Then the Lord will come to me, and he will tell me what I must say.” Then Balaam went away to a higher place.
