Numbers 23:25-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Then Balak said to Balaam, “You haven’t cursed these people. So at least don’t bless them!”

²⁶ Balaam answered Balak, “I told you before. I can only do what the Lord tells me.”

Balaam’s Third Message

²⁷ Then Balak said to Balaam, “Come, I will take you to another place. Maybe God will be pleased. He may let you curse them from there.” ²⁸ So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor. This mountain looks over the desert.

²⁹ Balaam told Balak, “Build me seven altars here. Then prepare for me seven bulls and seven male sheep.” ³⁰ Balak did what Balaam asked. He offered a bull and a male sheep on each altar.
