25. Then Balak said to Balaam, “You didn’t ask for good things to happen to these people, but you didn’t ask for bad things to happen to them either!”
26. Balaam answered, “I told you before that I can only say what the Lord tells me to say.”
27. Then Balak said to Balaam, “So come with me to another place. Maybe God will be pleased and will allow you to curse them from that place.”
28. So Balak led Balaam to the top of Mount Peor, which looks out over the desert.
29. Balaam said, “Build seven altars here. Then prepare seven bulls and seven rams for the altars.”
30. Balak did what Balaam asked. Balak offered the bulls and rams on the altars.
