1 And Ba´laam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Ba´laam had spoken; and Balak and Ba´laam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3 And Ba´laam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the Lord will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a high place.
4 And God met Ba´laam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5 And the Lord put a word in Ba´laam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
