And he said to Balaq, “Stand here by your ascending offering while I meet over there.”
And he said to them, “Spend the night here, and I shall bring back word to you, as יהוה speaks to me.” So the heads of Mo’aḇ stayed with Bil‛am.
And he took him to the field of Tsophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven slaughter-places, and offered a bull and a ram on each slaughter-place.
And יהוה came to Bil‛am, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Go back to Balaq, and say this.”
Bil‛am then said to Balaq, “Stand by your ascending offering, and let me go on. It might be that יהוה does come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I shall declare to you.” And he went to a bare height.
But I refused to listen to Bil‛am, so he continued to bless you, and I delivered you out of his hand.
