25 Then Balak told Balaam, “Don’t curse them and don’t bless them! ”
26 But Balaam answered him, “Didn’t I tell you: Whatever the Lord says, I must do? ”
27 Again Balak said to Balaam, “Please come. I will take you to another place. Maybe it will be agreeable to God that you can put a curse on them for me there.”
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
29 Balaam told Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
30 So Balak did as Balaam said and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
