1. Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”
2. So Balak did just as Balaam had said. Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3. Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering. I will go and perhaps Adonai will meet me. Whatever message He shows me, I will tell you. Then he went to a barren height.
4. God met with Balaam and he said to Him, “I have prepared seven altars, and on each altar I offered a bull and a ram.”
