2 And when he had acted according to the words of Balaam, they placed a calf and a ram together on each altar.
3 And Balaam said to Balak: 'Stand for a little while next to your holocaust, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet with me. And whatever he will command, I shall speak to you.'
4 And after he had quickly departed, God met with him. And Balaam, speaking to him, said: 'I have set up seven altars, and I have placed a calf and a ram on each.'
5 Then the Lord placed the word in his mouth, and he said: 'Return to Balak, and you shall say this.'
6 Returning, he found Balak standing next to his holocaust, with all the leaders of the Moabites.
