1. Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”
2. So Balak did just as Balaam had said. Balak and Balaam then offered on each altar a bull and a ram.
3. Balaam said to Balak, “Station yourself by your burnt offering, and I will go off; perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.” Then he went to a deserted height.
4. Then God met Balaam, who said to him, “I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”
