Balaam said to them, “Stay here for the night. I will talk to the Lord and tell you the answer he gives me.” So the leaders of Moab stayed there with Balaam that night.
So Balak led Balaam to Watchmen Hills. [293] This was on top of Mount Pisgah. At that place, Balak built seven altars. [294] And then Balak killed a bull and a ram on each altar as a sacrifice.
Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here near this altar. [289] I will go to another place. Then the Lord will come to me, and he will tell me what I must say.” Then Balaam went away to a higher place.
But I, the Lord, refused to listen to Balaam. So Balaam asked for good things to happen to you! He blessed you many times. I saved you and brought you out of trouble.
