1. And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
2. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3. And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height.
4. And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
5. And Jehovah put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6. And he returned unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
