Numbers 23:1


Numbers 22:41 Numbers 23:1 (KJV) Numbers 23:2
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
