Numbers 23:25-30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all, and do not bless them at all.” 26 But Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Whatever the Lord says, that is what I must do’?”(A)
27 So Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”(B) 28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.[a] 29 Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”(C) 30 So Balak did as Balaam had said and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
