1. 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.
