Balaam’s Oracles

23 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.” ² So Balak did as Balaam directed, and they offered a bull and a ram on each altar. ³ Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone. Maybe the Lord^[a] will meet with me. I will tell you whatever He reveals to me.” So he went to a barren hill.

⁴ God^[b] met with him and Balaam said to Him, “I have arranged seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”

²⁹ Balaam told Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.”^(A)
