Numbers 23:25-30

International Standard Version

²⁵ Then Balak told Balaam, “Don’t curse them or bless them!”

²⁶ “Didn’t I tell you,” Balaam responded to Balak, “that I’ll say whatever the Lord tells me to say?”

Balaam’s Third Sacrifice

²⁷ So Balak exhorted Balaam, “Let’s go right now! I’ll take you to another place. Maybe God will agree to have you curse them for me from there.” ²⁸ So Balak took Balaam to the top of Mount^[a] Peor, which overlooks the open wilderness.^[b]

²⁹ Balaam told Balak, “Build seven altars for me right here. Then prepare seven bulls and seven rams.” ³⁰ Balak did just what Balaam had instructed—he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
