Numbers 23:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And when he had done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon every altar.

³ And Balaam said to Balac: Stand a while by thy burnt offering, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet me, and whatsoever he shall command, I will speak to thee.

⁴ And when he was gone with speed, God met him. And Balaam speaking to him, said: I have erected seven altars, and have laid on everyone a calf and a ram.
