Numbers 23:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I go off by myself. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” ⎣So Balak went and stood by his burnt offering, and Balaam called to God⎦^[a] and then he went off to a barren hill.

⁴ God met Balaam, and Balaam said to him, “I have set up seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.”

⁵ The Lord put a message into Balaam’s mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and you are to deliver this message.”
