Numbers 23:1-3

New Century Version

Balaam’s First Message

23 Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven male sheep for me.” ² Balak did what Balaam asked, and they offered a bull and a male sheep on each of the altars.

³ Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering and I will go. If the Lord comes to me, I will tell you whatever he shows me.” Then Balaam went to a higher place.
