26. Balaam answered Balak, “I told you before. I can only do what the Lord tells me.”
27. Then Balak said to Balaam, “Come, I will take you to another place. Maybe God will be pleased. He may let you curse them from there.”
28. So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor. This mountain looks over the desert.
29. Balaam told Balak, “Build me seven altars here. Then prepare for me seven bulls and seven male sheep.”
30. Balak did what Balaam asked. He offered a bull and a male sheep on each altar.
