Numbers 23:1-3

New International Version - UK

Balaam’s first message

23 Balaam said, ‘Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.’ ² Balak did as Balaam said, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

³ Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.’ Then he went off to a barren height.
