1 And Balaam will say to Balak, Build to me here seven altars, and prepare to me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 2 And Balak will do as Balsam spake, and Balak will bring up, and Balaam, a bullock and a ram upon the altar. 3 And Balsam will say to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to my meeting: and the word which he will shew to me I will announce to thee. And he will go to the naked hill. 4 And God will meet Balaam, and he will say to him, I arranged seven altars, and I will bring up a bullock and a ram upon the altar. 5 And Jehovah will put the word in Balaam's mouth, and say, Turn back to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. 6 And he will turn back to him, and behold, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the leaders of Moab. 7 And he will take up his parable, and say, From Aram, Balak, king of Moab, will transfer me from the mountains of the east; Come curse to me Jacob and come and be angry at Israel. 8 How shall I curse, God cursing not? And how shall I be angry, God not being angry? Numbers 23:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
