Numbers 23

1Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”

2Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.

3Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.

4God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”

5Yahweh put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
