Numbers 23:12-16

¹²Balaam answered and said, “Should I not be careful to say only what Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

¹³So Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the nearest of them, not all of them. There you will curse them for me.”

¹⁴So he took Balaam into the field of Zophim, to the top of Mount Pisgah, and built seven more altars. He offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.

¹⁵Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet with Yahweh over there.”

¹⁶So Yahweh met Balaam and put a message in his mouth. He said, “Return to Balak and give him my message.”
