1. And Bil‛am said to Balaq, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
2. And Balaq did as Bil‛am had spoken, and Balaq and Bil‛am offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3. Bil‛am then said to Balaq, “Stand by your burnt offering, and let me go on. It might be that יהוה does come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I shall declare to you.” And he went to a bare height.
4. And Elohim came to Bil‛am, and he said to Him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”
