Numbers 23:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 23:1

1 Then Balaam said to Balak, ^a“Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams.”

2 And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam ^aoffered a bull and a ram on each altar.

3 Then Balaam said to Balak, ^a“Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come ^bto meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height.

4 ^aAnd God met Balaam, and he said to Him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.”

5 Then the Lord ^aput a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
