Numbers 23:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Balak did just as Balaam said. The two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

³ Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering. I’ll go and try to find out what the Lord wants me to do. Maybe he’ll come and meet with me. Then I’ll tell you what he says to me.” So Balaam went off to a bare hilltop.

⁴ God met with him there. Balaam said, “I’ve prepared seven altars. On each altar I’ve offered a bull and a ram.”
