Numbers 23:3-5

New International Version - UK

³ Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.’ Then he went off to a barren height.

⁴ God met with him, and Balaam said, ‘I have prepared seven altars, and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.’

⁵ The Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, ‘Go back to Balak and give him this word.’
