Balaam said to Balak, “Take up your station here beside your Whole-Burnt-Offering while I meet with him over there.”
So he took him to Watchmen’s Meadow at the top of Pisgah. He built seven altars there and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
God met with Balaam and gave him a message. He said, “Return to Balak and give him the message.”
Balaam instructed Balak: “Stand watch here beside your Whole-Burnt-Offering while I go off by myself. Maybe God will come and meet with me. Whatever he shows or tells me, I’ll report to you.” Then he went off by himself.
