Balaam’s Third Oracle
27 Again Balak said to Balaam, “Please come. I will take you to another place. Maybe it will be agreeable to God that you can put a curse on them for me there.” 28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.[a](B)
29 Balaam told Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”(C) 30 So Balak did as Balaam said and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
