1. Balaam said, “Build me seven altars here, and then prepare seven bulls and seven rams.”
2. Balak did it. Then Balaam and Balak sacrificed a bull and a ram on each of the altars.
3. Balaam instructed Balak: “Stand watch here beside your Whole-Burnt-Offering while I go off by myself. Maybe God will come and meet with me. Whatever he shows or tells me, I’ll report to you.” Then he went off by himself.
