1. Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2. Balak did what Balaam told him, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3. Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I’m gone. Maybe the Lord will come and meet with me. I will tell you whatever he reveals to me.” Then Balaam went off to a higher place where there were no trees.
4. God came to him, and Balaam said, “I have set up seven altars, and I offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”
