Numbers 23:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

23 ¹ Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.’ ² Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar. ³ Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘Stay here beside your burnt-offerings while I go aside. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.’ And he went to a bare height.
