1 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2 So Balak did as Balaam directed, and they offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone. Maybe the Lord will meet with me. I will tell you whatever He reveals to me.” So he went to a barren hill.
4 God met with him and Balaam said to Him, “I have arranged seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”
5 Then the Lord put a message in Balaam’s mouth and said, “Return to Balak and say what I tell you.”
