Numbers 23:1-4 ▼

1 Then Balaam (not of the people) said to Balak (devastator), “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”

2 So Balak (devastator) did as Balaam (not of the people) had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

3 “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam (not of the people) said to Balak (devastator). “Perhaps the LORD {YHWH} will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,

4 and God {Elohim} met with him (not of the people). “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
