²⁵ And Balak said unto Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”

²⁶ But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, “Told not I thee, saying, ‘All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do’?”

²⁷ And Balak said unto Balaam, “Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place. Perhaps it will please God that thou mayest curse them for me from thence.”

²⁸ And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

²⁹ And Balaam said unto Balak, “Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.”

³⁰ And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
