25 “Neither lay a curse on them nor bless them,” said Balak to Balaam.
26 But Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell you, ‘Everything the Lord tells me I must do’?”
27 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Come, let me bring you to another place; perhaps God will approve of your laying a curse on them for me from there.”
28 So he took Balaam to the top of Peor, that overlooks Jeshimon.
29 Balaam then said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here; and here prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam had ordered, offering a bull and a ram on each altar.
