Numbers 23:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

23 And Balaam said to Balac: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.

² And when he had done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon every altar.

³ And Balaam said to Balac: Stand a while by thy burnt offering, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet me, and whatsoever he shall command, I will speak to thee.
