Numbers 23:4

Balaam’s First Oracle

3“Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,4and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
