04:022:037 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee
to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able
indeed to promote thee to honour?
04:022:038 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I
now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God
putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
04:022:039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
04:022:040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
04:022:041 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.
04:023:001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
04:023:002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam
offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
04:023:003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
04:023:004 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
04:023:005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return
unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
